Evaluation of insertion-deletion polymorphisms with the kit Qiagen Investigator® DIPplex for forensic application in South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
Insertion-deletion polymorphisms (indels) have been underutilized in forensic
identification of individuals in comparison with single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) and short tandem repeat (STRs) systems. The use of ...
A forensic analysis of genetic variation in the Botswana population
(University of the Western cape, 2016)
This thesis has been placed under a long term embargo. Forensic and population genetic parameters were investigated in the Botswana population using autosomal and Y-chromosome short tandem repeat markers. AmpFlSTR Profiler ...
Genetic diversity of the Organic Cation Transporter 1 gene within the Cape Coloured Population
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity of the SLC22A1 gene and to deduce its possible pharmacogenetic implications within the Cape Coloured population of South Africa; a uniquely admixed population ...
A molecular investigation of the prevalence of suspected periodontopathogens and their association with preterm birth
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
More than 20 million infants in the world (15.5 % of all births) are born with low birth weight. Ninety-five % of them are in developing countries. Oral colonization of Gramnegative anaerobes has been implicated as a risk ...
Forensic identification of six of Tanzanian populations using the extended haplotype markers
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the power of discrimination and genetic (diversity) parameters in the Y chromosome extended haploytpe markers in populations of Tanzania for forensic and populations studies. ...
