Identification and characterization of a heat-inducible Hsp70 gene from Sorghum bicolor which confers tolerance to thermal stress
(Springer, 2015)This study describes the first detailed molecular characterization of the heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) gene from Sorghum bicolor, MN1618 designated as SbHsp70-1. The full-length cDNA of SbHsp70-1 consists of 2524 bp ... -
Identification and characterization of microRNAs expressed in the African malaria vector Anopheles funestus life stages using high throughput sequencing
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Over the past several years, thousands of microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified in the genomes of various insects through cloning and sequencing or even by computational prediction. However, the number of ... -
Identification and characterization of the Trichoplusia ni Single Capsid Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus p10 gene
(Springer Verlag, 2000)The p10 gene was identified and characterized from the Trichoplusia ni single capsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (TniSNPV). The p10 open reading frame (ORF) sequence was identified following sequencing of the ends of the ... -
Identification and delineation of groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) in the Khakea–Bray transboundaryaquifer region using geospatial techniques
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023)Identifying and delineating groundwater-dependent ecosystems(GDEs) is critical in understanding their location, distribution andgroundwater allocation. However, this information is inadequatelyunderstood due to limited ... -
Identification and profiling of salinity stress-responsive proteins in Sorghum bicolor seedlings
(Elsevier, 2012)Sorghum bicolor, a drought tolerant cereal crop, is not only an important food source in the semi arid/arid regions but also a potential model for studying and gaining a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms ... -
Identification of a novel alkaliphilic esterase active at low temperatures by screening a metagenomic library from Antarctic desert soil
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009)The cold deserts of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, South Victoria Land, Eastern Antarctica, are widely acknowledged as having the harshest soil environments on Earth (6, 8, 26). Despite the apparent hostility of the environment, ... -
Identification of a novel protein with guanylyl cyclase activity in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Elsevier, 2003)Guanylyl cyclases (GCs) catalyze the formation of the second messenger guanosine 3 ,5 -cyclic monophos- phate (cGMP) from guanosine 5 -triphosphate (GTP). While many cGMP-mediated processes in plants have been reported, ... -
Identification of biomarkers for the accurate and sensitive diagnosis of three bacterial pneumonia pathogens using in silico approaches
(Springer Nature, 2020): Pneumonia ranks as one of the main infectious sources of mortality among kids under 5 years of age, killing 2500 a day; late research has additionally demonstrated that mortality is higher in the elderly. A few ... -
Identification of HIV and AIDS-related competencies for nurse graduates in South Africa
(AFAHPER-SD, 2014)Three decades after the discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the global community has not been able to halt the epidemic of HIV infection. Various organisations have devised a number of policies and guidelines ... -
Identification of new respiratory viruses in the new millennium
(MDPI, 2015)The rapid advancement of molecular tools in the past 15 years has allowed for the retrospective discovery of several new respiratory viruses as well as the characterization of novel emergent strains. The inability to ... -
Identification of novel prognostic markers of survival time in high-risk neuroblastoma using gene expression profiles
(Impact Journals, 2020)Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood. Patients in high-risk group often have poor outcomes with low survival rates despite several treatment options. This study aimed to identify a genetic ... -
Identification of single spectral lines in large spectroscopic surveys using UMLAUT: an Unsupervised Machine Learning Algorithm based on Unbiased Topology
(The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2021)The identification of an emission line is unambiguous when multiple spectral features are clearly visible in the same spectrum.However, in many cases, only one line is detected, making it difficult to correctly determine ... -
Identification of superior cellulase secretion phenotypes in haploids derived from natural Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolates
(Oxford University Press, 2019)The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is considered an important host for consolidated bioprocessing and the production of high titres of recombinant cellulases is required for efficient hydrolysis of lignocellulosic substrates ... -
Identification, sequence analysis, and phylogeny of the immediate early gene 1 of the trichoplusia ni single nucleocapsid polyhedrosis virus
(Springer Verlag, 2001)Substantial research has been conducted on the immediate early 1 (ie-1) genes from the prototype baculovirus Autographa californica multicapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) and the Orgyia pseudotsugata multicapsid ... -
Identifying global priorities for the conservation of vipers
(Elsevier, 2016)Vipers are among the most misunderstood and persecuted animals. They occupy most terrestrial ecosystems around the world, often at high population densities. However, certain aspects of their biology (e.g., low fecundity ... -
Identifying multiple periodicities in sparse photon event time series
(Oxford University Press, 2016)The data considered are event times (e.g. photon arrival times, or the occurrence of sharp pulses). The source is multiperiodic, or the data could be multiperiodic because several unresolved sources contribute to the time ... -
Identifying strategies to improve research publication output in health and rehabilitation sciences: a review of the literature
(Health and Medical Publishing Group, 2011)The health research community in South Africa annually produces a fair number of research papers in national and international health and related journals. Unfortunately, the proportion of papers produced by authors in ... -
Identiteit en seksualiteit in die debuutromans van Kirby van der Merwe en Clark Accord
