Semantic interrogation of a multi knowledge domain ontological model of tendinopathy identifies four strong candidate risk genes
(Nature Research, 2016)Tendinopathy is a multifactorial syndrome characterised by tendon pain and thickening, and impaired performance during activity. Candidate gene association studies have identified genetic factors that contribute to ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Three novel bacteria associated with two centric diatom species from the Mediterranean Sea, Thalassiosira rotula and Skeletonema marinoi
(MPDI, 2021)Diatoms are a successful group of microalgae at the base of the marine food web. For hundreds of millions of years, they have shared common habitats with bacteria, which favored the onset of interactions at different ... -
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 ... -
A uniquely African focus: bioinformatics is a field that has grown exponentially in the past few years, and it is becoming increasingly important to collaborate as the field continues to gather momentum
(2015)Bioinformatics is a field that has grown exponentially in the past few years, and it is becoming increasingly important to collaborate as the field continues to gather momentum. -
Using a multiple-delivery-mode training approach to develop local capacity and infrastructure for advanced bioinformatics in Africa
(Public Library of Science, 2021)With more microbiome studies being conducted by African-based research groups, there is an increasing demand for knowledge and skills in the design and analysis of microbiome studies and data. However, high-quality ... -
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 ...
