Computational verification of published human mutations
Kamanu, Frederick Kinyua (University of the Western Cape, 2008)The completion of the Human Genome Project, a remarkable feat by any measure, has provided over three billion bases of reference nucleotides for comparative studies. The next, and perhaps more challenging step is to analyse ... -
The development of a single nucleotide polymorphism database for forensic identification of specified physical traits
Naidu, Alecia Geraldine (University of the Western Cape, 2009)Many Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) found in coding or regulatory regions within the human genome lead to phenotypic differences that make prediction of physical appearance, based on genetic analysis, potentially ... -
Incidence and regulatory implications of single Nucleotide polymorphisms among established ovarian cancer genes
Ramdayal, Kavisha (University of the Western Cape, 2009)OVARIAN cancer research focuses on answering important questions related to the disease, determining whether new approaches are feasible to contribute towards improving current treatments or discovering new ones. This study ... -
A knowledgebase of stress reponsive gene regulatory elements in arabidopsis Thaliana
Adam, Muhammed Saleem (University of the Western Cape, 2011)Stress responsive genes play a key role in shaping the manner in which plants process and respond to environmental stress. Their gene products are linked to DNA transcription and its consequent translation into a response ... -
miRNAMatcher: High throughput miRNA discovery using regular expressions obtained via a genetic algorithm
Duvenage, Eugene (University of the Western Cape, 2008)In summary there currently exist techniques to discover miRNA however both require many calculations to be performed during the identification limiting their use at a genomic level. Machine learning techniques are currently ...
