Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects more than 55 million people worldwide, yet current theories cannot fully explain its aetiology. Accordingly, gene expression profiling has been used to provide a holistic view of the biology underpinning AD. Focusing primarily on protein-coding genes, such approaches have highlighted a critical involvement of microglia-related inflammatory processes. Simultaneous investigation of transcriptiona...

International conservation goals have been set to mitigate Southern Ocean ecosystem deterioration, with multiple monitoring programs evaluating progress towards those goals. The scale of continuous monitoring through visual observations, however, is challenged by the remoteness of the area and logistical constraints. Given the ecological and economic importance of the Southern Ocean, it is imperative that additional biological...
