CoenzymeQ10-associated gene mutations in South African patients with respiratory chain deficiencies
(North-West University, 2015)CoenzymeQ10 (CoQ10) functions as an electron carrier in mitochondria transporting electrons from CI and CII to CIII in the respiratory chain (RC) for normal cellular energy (ATP) production. Mutations in genes of a complicated ... -
A comparison of bioinformatic workflows for herbivore dietary analysis using a DNA metabarcoding approach
(North-West University (South Africa), 2023)Dietary analysis based on faecal DNA metabarcoding is dependent on the taxonomic coverage and quality of records available in DNA barcode reference databases, as well as the subsequent choice of bioinformatics pipeline to ... -
Draft De Novo genome sequence of Agapornis roseicollis for application in avian breeding
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)In aviculture, lovebirds are considered one of the most popular birds to keep. This African parakeet is known for its range of plumage colors and ease to tame. Plumage variation is the most important price-determining trait ... -
Investigating gene mutations in a South African paediatric cohort diagnosed with mitochondrial disease
(North-West University (South Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2019)Mitochondrial diseases (MD) are a clinically heterogenous group of genetic disorders that affect the neuromuscular system, the central nervous system (collectively known as encephalomyopathies), and other high-energy ... -
Recombinant expression and functional characterisation of a putative clathrin assembly protein from arabidopsis thaliana
(North-West University (South Africa), 2015)The need to develop agricultural crops with persistent resistance to the vagaries of climate change has led plant biotechnologists to strategically focus on those plant molecules involved in the maintenance and sustenance ...
