Predictive classifier models built from natural products with antimalarial bioactivity using machine learning approach
(Public Library of Science, 2018)
In view of the vast number of natural products with potential antiplasmodial bioactivity
and cost of conducting antiplasmodial bioactivity assays, it may be judicious to learn from
previous antiplasmodial bioassays and ...
Developing reproducible bioinformatics analysis workflows for heterogeneous computing environments to support African genomics
(Springer Nature, 2018)
Background: The Pan-African bioinformatics network, H3ABioNet, comprises 27 research institutions in 17 African
countries. H3ABioNet is part of the Human Health and Heredity in Africa program (H3Africa), an African-led ...
Trends in Genotypic HIV-1 Antiretroviral resistance between 2006 and 2012 in South African Patients receiving first- and second line antiretroviral treatment regimensTrends in Genotypic HIV-1 Antiretroviral resistance between 2006 and 2012 in South African Patients receiving first- and second line antiretroviral treatment regimens
(University of the Western CapePublic Library of Science -- PLoS, 2013)
South Africa's national antiretroviral (ARV) treatment program expanded in 2010 to include the nucleoside
reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors (NRTI) tenofovir (TDF) for adults and abacavir (ABC) for children. We ...
Designing a course model for distance-based online bioinformatics training in Africa: the H3ABioNet experience
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
Africa is not unique in its need for basic bioinformatics training for individuals from a diverse
range of academic backgrounds. However, particular logistical challenges in Africa, most
notably access to bioinformatics ...
Exome sequencing identifies novel dysferlin mutation in a family with pauci-symptomatic heterozygous carriers
(Springer Nature, 2018)
Background: We investigated a South African family of admixed ancestry in which the first generation (G1) developed
insidious progressive distal to proximal weakness in their twenties, while their offspring (G2) experienced ...

Virome assembly and annotation: A surprise in the Namib Desert
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2017)
Sequencing, assembly, and annotation of environmental virome samples is challenging. Methodological biases and differences in species abundance result in fragmentary read coverage; sequence reconstruction is further ...
Cross-species multiple environmental stress responses: An integrated approach to identify candidate genes for multiple stress tolerance in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and related model species
(Public Library of Science, 2018)
BACKGROUND
Crop response to the changing climate and unpredictable effects of global warming with
adverse conditions such as drought stress has brought concerns about food security to the
fore; crop yield loss is a major ...
Carbonic anhydrase II based biosensing of carbon dioxide at high temperature: an analytical and MD simulation study
(OMICS International, 2018)
Concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has increased significantly due to anthropogenic
activities and attributed as a major factor to global warming. Its detection by biosensing methods will provide ...
Selecting an appropriate method for expressing S locus F-box-S2 recombinant protein
(Elsevier, 2017)
A single locus (S locus) including at least two linked genes (female and male determinants) genetically controls
the gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) in apple, which has evolved to avoid self-fertilization. There ...
