Mutational signatures for breast cancer diagnosis using artificial intelligence
(Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute, 2023-05-15)
Background
Breast cancer is the most common female cancer worldwide. Its diagnosis and prognosis remain scanty, imprecise, and poorly documented. Previous studies have indicated that some genetic mutational signatures are ...
Whole Transcriptome Analysis of Differentially Expressed Genes in Cultured Nile Tilapia (O. niloticus) Subjected to Chronic Stress Reveals Signaling Pathways Associated with Depressed Growth
(MDPI Gene, 2023-03-25)
Chronic stress is a serious threat to aquaculture as it lowers fish growth performance and compromises fish welfare. The exact mechanism by which growth is retarded is, however, not clearly understood. This study sought ...
Pangenomics of the cichlid species (Oreochromis niloticus) reveals genetic admixture ancestry with potential for aquaculture improvement in Kenya
(The Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology, 2023-10-08)
Background Nile tilapia has a variety of phenotypes suitable for aquaculture farming, yet its entire gene pool with potential for breeding climate ready strains in resource-limited settings remains scanty and poorly ...
Rhizobia Contribute to Salinity Tolerance in Common Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
(Cell, 2022-11-16)
Rhizobia are soil bacteria that induce nodule formation on leguminous plants. In the nodules, they reduce dinitrogen to ammonium that can be utilized by plants. Besides nitrogen fixation, rhizobia have other symbiotic ...
Shotgun Metagenomic Analyses of Microbial Assemblages in the Aquatic Ecosystem of Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria, Kenya Reveals Multiclass Pollution
(BioMed Research International, 2023-07-21)
Lake Victoria, the second-largest freshwater lake in the world, provides an important source of food and income, particularly fish for both domestic consumption and for export market. In recent years, Lake Victoria has ...
Molecular Characterization of Indigenous Rhizobia from Kenyan Soils Nodulating with Common Beans
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023-05-30)
: Kenya is the seventh most prominent producer of common beans globally and the second
leading producer in East Africa. However, the annual national productivity is low due to insufficient
quantities of vital nutrients ...

Molecular Footprints of Potato Virus Y Isolate Infecting Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) in Kenya
(Wiley Advances in Virology, 2024-08-06)
Potato virus Y (PVY) is a highly diverse and genetically variable virus with various strains. Differential evolutionary routes have been reported in the genus Potyvirus, caused by natural selection pressure, mutation, and ...
High-Throughput Shotgun Metagenomics of Microbial Footprints Uncovers a Cocktail of Noxious Antibiotic Resistance Genes in the Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria, Kenya
(Journal of Tropical Medicine, 2024-12-23)
Background: A diverse range of pollutants, including heavy metals, agrochemicals, pharmaceutical residues, illicit drugs, personal care products, and other anthropogenic contaminants, pose a significant threat to aquatic ...
