A PATHWAY TO IMPROVED MATERNITY RESEARCH IN NORTHERN IRELAND? NOVEL LINKAGE OF NORTHERN IRELAND LONGITUDINAL STUDY AND NORTHERN IRELAND MATERNITY SERVICES SYSTEM

A pathway to improved maternity research in Northern Ireland? Novel linkage of Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study and Northern Ireland Maternity Services System

Objective Our primary objective was to determine the social and demographic determinants of interpregnancy weight change.A secondary aim is to highlight the novel linkage of two data resources in Northern Ireland (NI) and the potential for transformative research in maternal health.Approach We piloted a process to link two datasets in a safe, legal

Genome sequence of the entomopathogenic Serratia entomophila isolate 626 and characterisation of the species specific itaconate degradation pathway

Abstract Background Isolates of Serratia entomophila and S.proteamaculans (Yersiniaceae) cause disease specific to the endemic New Zealand pasture pest, Costelytra giveni (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae).Previous genomic profiling has shown that S.entomophila isolates appear to have conserved genomes and, where present, conserved plasmids.In the absence
