ABSTRACT: Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for Moricandia moricandioides (Brassicaceae) and cross-amplification in related species
Project description:Genetic characterization of novel polymorphic microsatellite markers for Epilobium nankotaizanense (Onagraceae), an endemic and threaten herb in Taiwan
Project description:Transcriptome profiling in response to water stress and rewatering of Moricandia species with C3 and C3-C4 intermediate photosynthesis.
Project description:A large proportion of indigenous African (IA) colorectal cancer (CRC) patients in South Africa are young (<50years), with no unique histopathological or molecular characteristics. Anatomical site as well as microsatellite instability (MSI) status have shown to be associated with different clinicopathological and molecular features. This study aimed to ascertain key histopathological and miRNA expression patterns in microsatellite stable (MSS) and low-frequency MSI (MSI-L) patients, to provide insight into the mechanism of the disease. This study revealed distinct histopathological features for Left Colon Cancer (LCC), and suggests BAT25/26, miRNAs let-7a-5p and miRNA-125a/b-5p as negative prognostic markers in African CRC patients.
