Transcriptomic analysis reveal novel genes with sexually dimorphic expression in the zebrafish gonad and brain
Sreenivasan, Rajini; Cai, Minnie; Bartfai, Richard; Wang, Xingang; Orban, Laszlo; Christoffels, Alan (Plosone, 2008)Our knowledge on zebrafish reproduction is very limited. We generated a gonad-derived cDNA microarray from zebrafish and used it to analyze large-scale gene expression profiles in adult gonads and other organs. We have ... -
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
Christoffels, Alan (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 multiplex amplicon pcr technology to efficiently and timely generate rift valley fever virus sequence data for genomic surveillance
Juma, John; Christoffels, Alan; Roesel, Kristina (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 ... -
Whole-genome sequencing for an enhanced understanding of genetic variation among South Africans
Choudhury, Ananyo; Christoffels, Alan; Gamieldien, Junaid; Sefid-Dashti, Mahjoubeh J. (Nature Publishing Group, 2017)The Southern African Human Genome Programme is a national initiative that aspires to unlock the unique genetic character of southern African populations for a better understanding of human genetic diversity. In this pilot ...
