Odorant and gustatory receptors in the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans
(PLOS, 2014)Tsetse flies use olfactory and gustatory responses, through odorant and gustatory receptors (ORs and GRs), to interact with their environment. Glossina morsitans morsitans genome ORs and GRs were annotated using homologs ... -
Taste and odorant receptors of the coelecanth- a gene repertoire in transition
(Wiley, 2014)G-protein coupled chemosensory receptors (GPCR-CRs) aid in the perception of odors and tastes in vertebrates. So far, six GPCR-CR families have been identified that are conserved in most vertebrate species. Phylogenetic ... -
Transcriptomic analysis reveal novel genes with sexually dimorphic expression in the zebrafish gonad and brain
(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
(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. -
Whole-genome sequencing for an enhanced understanding of genetic variation among South Africans
(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 ...
