Alteration of Bax-to-Bcl-2 ratio modulates the anticancer activity of methanolic extract of Commelina benghalensis (Commelinaceae) in Jurkat T cells
Mbazima, Vusi G.; Mokgotho, Matlou P.; February, Faghri; Rees, Jasper G.; Mampuru, Leseilane J. (Academic Journals, 2008)Stem extracts of Commelina benghalensis (Linn.), although not extensively documented, are frequently used in traditional medicine for the treatment of ailments such as skin malformations and outgrowths. Accordingly, the ... -
Genome-wide SNP identification by high-throughput sequencing and selective mapping allows sequence assembly positioning using a framework genetic linkage map
Celton, Jean M.; Christoffels, Alan; Sargant, Daniel J.; Xu, Xiangming; Rees, Jasper G. (BioMed Central, 2010)Determining the position and order of contigs and scaffolds from a genome assembly within an organism’s genome remains a technical challenge in a majority of sequencing projects. In order to exploit contemporary technologies ... -
A glance at quality score: implication for de novo transcriptome reconstruction of Illumina reads
Mbandi, Stanley K.; Hesse, Uljana; Rees, Jasper G.; Christoffels, Alan (Frontiers, 2014)Downstream analyses of short-reads from next-generation sequencing platforms are often preceded by a pre-processing step that removes uncalled and wrongly called bases. Standard approaches rely on their associated base ... -
Selecting an appropriate method for expressing S locus F-box-S2 recombinant protein
Ashkani, Jahanshah; Rees, Jasper G. (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 ...
