Genetic variation between two subspecies of Reedfrogs in the genus Hyperolius (Anura: Hyperoliidae)
(University of the Western Cape, 1993)
The frog genus Hyperolius is the largest of 19 genera in the Hyperoliidae (Channing, 1939). The members of the genus display considerable morphological homogeneity with a diversity of dorsal colour patterns. The genus is ...
Aberrations in the Retinoblastoma susceptibility gene in tumours from South Africa oesophageal cancer patients
(University of the Western Cape, 1996)
Little is known about the genetic events occurring in oesophageal cancer and very few studies have been undertaken to analyse oesophageal tumours from South African patients in this regard. Inactivation of numerous tumour ...
"Genetic variation between two subspecies of reedfrogs in the genus Hyperolius (Anura: Hyperoliidae)"
(University of the Western Cape, 1993)
H. m. broadleyi and H. m. verrucosus are not only different in terms of colour pattern, but distinct genetic differences were detected in restriction site maps of their ribosomal DNA. A sequence divergence value of 13,8% ...
Genetic variation of rana fuscigula in Southern Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 1994)
Naturalists have long been engaged in describing and explaining diversity in the biological world. The discovery of the molecular basis of inheritance has led to rapid increase in the use of biological macromolecules in ...
The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) and p53 gene status in South African oesophageal cancer patients
(University of the Western Cape, 1996)
Oesophageal cancer is the most conmon cause of cancer-related deaths in black males in South Africa. In an effort to understand the molecular nature of oesophageal carcinogenesis in South Africa, two tumour suppressor ...
