Computational characterisation of DNA methylomes in mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing hyper- and hypo-virulent strains
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, is estimated to infect approximately one-third of the world’s population and is responsible for around 2 million deaths per year. The disease is endemic in ...
Computational prediction of host-pathogen protein-protein interactions
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Supervised machine learning approaches have been applied successfully to the prediction of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) within a single organism, i.e., intra-species predictions. However, because of the absence of ...
Development of an operon detection algorithm to analyze gene regulation in drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
In prokaryotes, operon structures often form to allow microorganisms to respond rapidly and efficiently to changing environmental conditions. Operons are sets of neighbouring genes which are co-regulated and co-transcribed. ...
