- An automated pipeline for 3D structural modelling of DNA probes for pathogen detectionPublication . Pereira, Beatriz; Fernandes, Romeu; Soares, Pedro; Pratas, Diogo; Sousa, Sérgio F.; Carneiro, João
- Minimal relative absent words as candidate host-pathogen signatures for innovative diagnosisPublication . Almeida, Sara; Carneiro, João; Pratas, DiogoMinimal Relative Absent Words (mRAWs) are the shortest nucleotide sequences occurring in one genome, such as a pathogen, while being absent from another, such as the host, making them potential genomic signatures. Recent work on SARS-CoV-2 showed that shorter mRAWs tend to exhibit higher GC-content than both the human and virus genomes and transcriptomes and identified a persistent mRAW in the Spike gene, a key protein involved in host-cell entry, highlighting the relevance of absent words for pathogen detection.
- An automated pipeline for the 3D structural modelling and docking of ssDNA probes for pathogen detectionPublication . Pereira, Beatriz; Fernandes, Romeu; Soares, Pedro; Pratas, Diogo; Sousa, Sérgio F.; Carneiro, João
- Development and implementation of a game-based educational tool for microbiological risk awareness in Tenebrio molitor productionPublication . Carvalho, Teresa Bento de; Teixeira, Paula; Barbosa, Joana BastodEdible insects such as Tenebrio molitor larvae are emerging as sustainable protein sources. However, microbiological hazards can occur throughout the production chain. Science and game-based learning can enhance awareness and public engagement.
- From food waste to foodborne risk: assessing the safety of organic compostPublication . Rezende, Lourenço Pinto de; Barbosa, Joana; Teixeira, PaulaComposting is a growing practice in both organic and conventional farming systems. Prepared from organic waste that would otherwise be unusable, this technique promotes the reuse of these by-products as effective soil amendments. While its efficiency varies according to the raw materials used and composting conditions, this practice has become widespread in urban farming due to its low cost and accessibility. However, the microbiological quality of composts produced in urban farms remains poorly characterized, particularly regarding the presence of hygiene indicators and foodborne pathogens. As compost is frequently applied directly to crops, insufficiently stabilized or contaminated compost may represent a relevant route of microbial contamination in urban farming systems. In this work, mature composts were collected from 10 urban farms in Porto, Portugal, and their microbiological quality was evaluated.
