The identification of biologically important secondary structures in disease-causing RNA viruses
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Viral genomes consist of either deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA). The viral RNA molecules are responsible for two functions, firstly, their sequences contain the genetic code, which encodes the viral ...
A computational characterisation of the relationship between genome structure and disease genes
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
This is a pilot study to investigate the relationship between disease gene status and the structure of the human genome with specific reference to regions of recombination. It compares certain characteristics of a control ...
The potential of commercial praziquantel formulations as "off label" treatments for diplectanum oliveri (monogenea) infecting cultured argyrosomus species in the South African marine finfish aquaculture industry
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Aquaculture is a vast industry all over the world and has increased significantly
during the past 30 years. In South Africa, finfish aquaculture farms stretch from
Gansbaai to as far as Richards bay with the potential ...

Normalization and statistical methods for crossplatform expression array analysis
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
A large volume of gene expression data exists in public repositories like the NCBI’s Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and the EBI’s ArrayExpress and a significant opportunity to re-use data in various combinations for novel ...
Effects of nucleotide variation on the structure and function of human arylamine n-acetyltransferase 1
(2012)
The human arylamine N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) is critical in determining the duration of action and pharmacokinetics of amine-containing drugs such as para-aminosalicylic acid and para-aminobenzoyl glutamate used in ...
Regulatory attributes of the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway in Arabidopsis Thaliana under abiotic stress
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Carotenoids are tetraprenoid (C40) molecules synthesized in plants, fungi, bacteria and algae, via the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway (CBP). Some carotenoids are readily converted to vitamin A (VA) in humans, e.g. ...
