Journal ArticleDOI
Handwashing and Detergent Treatment Greatly Reduce SARS-CoV-2 Viral Load on Halloween Candy Handled by COVID-19 Patients.
Rodolfo A. Salido,Sydney C. Morgan,Maria Isabel Rojas,Celestine Magallanes,Clarisse Marotz,Peter DeHoff,Pedro Belda-Ferre,Stefan Aigner,Deborah M. Kado,Gene W. Yeo,Jack A. Gilbert,Louise C. Laurent,Forest Rohwer,Rob Knight +13 more
TL;DR: Although the risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 by fomites is low even from known COVID-19 patients, viral RNA load can be reduced to near zero by the combination of handwashing by the infected patient and ≥1 min detergent treatment after collection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitória Piai,Elke De Witte,Elke De Witte,Joanna Sierpowska,Xiaochen Zheng,Leighton B. Hinkley,Danielle Mizuiri,Rob Knight,Mitchel S. Berger,Srikantan S. Nagarajan +9 more
TL;DR: The results attest to the validity of using a demanding picture-naming task in presurgical patients and provide evidence for neuroplasticity, with the right hemisphere performing similar computations as the left hemisphere typically performs.
Book ChapterDOI

Heather Deel,Sibyl R. Bucheli,Aeriel D. Belk,Sam Ogden,Aaron M. Lynne,David O. Carter,Rob Knight,Jessica L. Metcalf +7 more
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the development of a microbial clock for estimating PMI, as well as remaining knowledge gaps and hurdles to technology adoption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cancer's second genome: Microbial cancer diagnostics and redefining clonal evolution as a multispecies process
TL;DR: Opportunities to exploit cancer's metagenome in oncology are described and an evolutionary framework is proposed as a first step towards modeling multispecies cancer clonality.

The Southern Bluefin Tuna mucosal microbiome is influenced by husbandry method, net pen location, and anti-parasite treatment
Jeremiah J. Minich,Cecilia Power,Michaela Melanson,Rob Knight,Claire Webber,Kirsten Rough,Nathan J. Bott,Barbara F. Nowak,Eric E. Allen +8 more
TL;DR: Comparing the bluefin tuna microbiome to other fish species, including Seriola lalandi (yellowtail kingfish), a common farmed species from Australia, and Scomber japonicus (Pacific mackerel), a wild caught Scombrid relative of tuna, showed the two Scombrids had more similar microbial communities compared to other families.
