Transcriptomics of the Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) Species Complex
(MDPI, 2020)
Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis), widely known as a herbal tea, is endemic to the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa (SA). It produces a wide range of phenolic compounds that have been associated with diverse health-promoting ...
Capacity building for whole genome sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and bioinformatics in high TB burden countries
(Oxford University Press, 2020)
Background
Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is increasingly used for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) research. Countries with the highest tuberculosis (TB) burden face important challenges to integrate WGS into surveillance ...
Ten simple rules for developing bioinformatics capacity at an academic institution
(Public Library of Science, 2021)
Bioinformatics is an applied interdisciplinary field whose primary purpose is to develop and
deploy computational techniques to store, organize, and aid in the analysis and interpretation
of large-scale data obtained ...
The combat-tb workbench: Making powerful Mycobacterium tuberculosis bioinformatics accessible
(American Society for Microbiology, 2022)
Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is a powerful method for detecting drug resistance, genetic diversity, and transmission dynamics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Implementation of WGS in public health microbiology laboratories ...
Investigation of distinct gene expression profile patterns that can improve the classification of intermediate-risk prognosis in AML patients
(Frontiers Media, 2023)
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous type of blood cancer that generally affects the elderly. AML patients are categorized with favorable-, intermediate-, and adverse-risks based on an individual’s genomic ...
SysBiolPGWAS: Simplifying post-GWAS analysis through the use of computational technologies and integration of diverse omics datasets
(Oxford University Press, 2023)
Post-genome-wide association studies (pGWAS) analysis is designed to decipher the functional consequences of significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the era of GWAS. This can be translated into
research ...
Application of anin silicoapproach identifies a genetic locus withinITGB2,and itsinteractions withHSPG2 and FGF9,to be associated with anterior cruciateligament rupture risk
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023)
We developed a Biomedical Knowledge Graph model that is phenotype and biological function-aware through integrating knowledge from multiple domains in a Neo4j, graph database. Allknown human genes were assessed through the ...
Using multiplex amplicon pcr technology to efficiently and timely generate rift valley fever virus sequence data for genomic surveillance
(MDPI, 2023)
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a febrile vector-borne disease endemic in Africa and continues
to spread in new territories. It is a climate-sensitive disease mostly triggered by abnormal rainfall
patterns. The disease is ...
Exploring new genetic variants within col5a1 intron 4‐exon 5 region and tgf‐β family with risk of anterior cruciate ligament ruptures
(Wiley, 2020)
Variants within genes encoding structural and regulatory elements of ligaments have
been associated with musculoskeletal soft tissue injury risk. The role of intron 4‐exon
5 variants within the α1 chain of type V collagen ...
Predicting amplification of mycn using cpg methylation biomarkers in neuroblastoma
(Future Science Group, 2021)
Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood. Amplification of MYCN in neuroblastoma is a predictor of poor prognosis. Materials and methods: DNA methylation data from the TARGET data matrix were ...
