Germline mutations are the source of evolution and contribute substantially to many health-related processes. In this study, we use whole genome deep sequencing data from parents-offspring trios to examine the de novo point mutations (DNMs) in the offspring.

We studied correlation between ...

Anthropogenic activities cause the release of vast amounts of contaminants into the environment and thus also into surface- and groundwaters. Regulatory monitoring determines whether critical threshold concentrations are surpassed, by mostly occasional probing. This irregular testing, however, do...

Understanding biogeochemical conversions of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquifers is paramount for the effective management of groundwater supplies. On its passage through the critical zone, DOM is subject to biogeochemical conversions and therefore carries cross-habitat information useful f...
