Abstract:

Genetic Improvement (GI) of software is a recent field that has drawn much attention from Software Engineering researchers. It aims to use search techniques to automatically modify and improve existing software. The drawback in previous GI approaches is scalability of these approaches, due to the large search space formed by the code base in real-world systems. To overcome the scalability challenge, more recent studies have confined the granularity of code modification at the statement level and applied a prior sensitivity analysis to further reduce the search space. However, some software imp

Abstract:

Thesis (MSc (Genetics))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006.<br>Pre-eclampsia is a multisystemic disorder with an incidence of ~6-8% in non-Caucasian women in the Western Cape. Trophoblast invasion is vital for adequate anchorage of the placenta to the uterine wall as well as for the optimisation of utero-placental blood flow in uncomplicated pregnancies. This process is facilitated by the fetal trophoblast cells that digest the extracellular matrix of the uterus by secreting various molecules, including the metalloproteinases (MMP), of which MMP-9 has an increased production during the first tr

Abstract:

Dissertation presented to obtain the Ph.D degree in Evolutionary Biology<br>Understanding the genetic basis of adaptation is crucial to explain the emergence and maintenance of the multitude of life forms we find on Earth today. Perhaps even more importantly, gaining knowledge about how fast organisms can cope with environmental changes may prove crucial in a world being altered at increasing speed due to the human actions. The study of adaptive evolution may therefore have major implications (and applications) in Agriculture, Conservation of endangered species and even Human Health. Natural

Abstract:

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are neuroendocrine tumors that arise from neural crest-derived cells of the adrenal medulla and the extra-adrenal paraganglia.

Malignancy in the form of distant metastases occurs in 10-15% of the patients. The malignant cases are difficult to predict and cure, and have a poor prognosis. About a third of pheochro

Abstract:

The Evolutionary Algorithm is a population-based metaheuristic optimization algorithm. The EA employs mutation, crossover and selection operators inspired by biological evolution. It is commonly applied to find exact or approximate solutions to combinatorial search and optimization problems. This dissertation describes a series of theoretical and experimental studies on a variety of evolutionary algorithms and models of those algorithms. The effects of the crossover and mutation operators are analyzed. Multiple examples of deceptive fitness functions are given where the crossover operator is s

Abstract:

Epilepsy affects over 450,000 people in the UK and there are over 50 epilepsy phenotypes; genetic generalised epilepsy (GGE) account for up to 30% of seizure types. It is established that GGE and other neurological disorders are, in some cases, caused by channelopathies within post-synaptic inhibitory neurotransmitter systems such as GAB A (epilepsy) and Glycine (hyperekplexia). GAB A is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain and is synthesised from glutamate by GAD65 and 67, and is released from the pre-synaptic nerve terminal into the synaptic cleft, where it binds to post-syna

Abstract:

Genetic algorithms are an evolutionary technique that use crossover and mutation operators to solve optimization problems using a survival of the fittest idea. They have been used successfully in a variety of different problems, including the traveling salesman problem. In the traveling salesman problem we wish to find a tour of all nodes in a weighted graph so that the total weight is minimized. The traveling salesman problem is NP-hard but has many real world applications so a good solution would be useful. Many different crossover and mutation operators have been devised for the traveling s

Abstract:

Abstract Sensorineural hearing impairment (SNHI) is a well-recognized manifestation of mitochondrial diseases and occurs either in a non-syndromic form or as a part of a syndrome. Mitochondrial deafness is bilateral, usually progressive and is inherited maternally. Approximately 70% of patients with the most common syndromes, Kearns-Sayre, MELAS or MERRF, have SNHI. Several mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been found to cause non-syndromic SNHI, including 1555A>G, 7445T>C, 7472insC and 7511T>C. In order to estimate prevalences of pathogenic mtDNA mutations in population-based cohor

Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is a pathology associated with one or multiple hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands. The disease prevalence occurs in roughly 1-2% of the population primarily post-menopausal women. The molecular pathology of the disease is poorly understood. Elevated serum calcium levels in the setting of an inappropriately elevated parathyroid hormone level are indicative of the disease process. The ultimate treatment of the disease is to remove the hyperfunctioning gland. The aim of this thesis was to examine potential genetic and epigenetic aberrations that are potenti

Potential candidate genes, such as <I>Pax8</I> and <I>vimentin</I>, were excluded by backcross mapping, and markers flanking <I>Sd</I> were identified and utilised in the screening of YAC libraries.

Abstract:

The cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) necrotic leaf-spot mutation is due to a single recessive gene. Cytologically the necrotic leaf-spot mutant affects the development and necrosis of leaves associated with the changed staining pattern, contraction and collapse of palisade and spongy parenchyma cells sequentially. The scanning electron microscope revealed that the stomata are also involved or affected by necrosis. The mutation exhibits a slightly deleterious effect on pollen viability, but not on the viability of the embryo.

Abstract:

Cystinuria is an autosomal recessive disorder of the kidneys and intestine with defective luminal transport of cystine and other dibasic amino acids (ornithine, arginine, and lysine). Three phenotypes have been described, based on urinary excretion of these amino acids in obligate heterozygotes: Type I (silent carriers); Type II (moderate elevation); and Type III (mild elevation). The SLC3AI (D2H) protein has been shown to enhance cystine reabsorption and mutations in D2H have been reported in cystinuria. The aims of this study were to characterize D2H gene structure and to identify mutations
