Abstract:

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Haliotis midae (commonly referred to as perlemoen) is the only one of five endemic species in South Africa that is commercially valued both locally and internationally. Unfortunately, natural perlemoen populations have become a dwindling resource due to commercial exploitation, poaching and the influx of natural threats, such as the West Coast rock lobster, Jasus lalandii. To preserve the natural diversity and sustainability of natural populations as well as commercial stocks, genetic management and improvement of perlemoe

Abstract:

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is used to help infertile couples achieve a live birth. Clinical studies have suggested that multiple, consecutive cycles of IVF can increase live birth rate significantly. Others have documented improved live birth rates from the use of new laboratory techniques for preimplantation genetic screening (PGS). This genetic screening technique seeks to determine the ploidy of the embryo prior to implantation into the woman. To date, no study has examined the cost-effectiveness of using IVF in conjunction with PGS compared to that of IVF alone for 3 consecutive cycles i

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:

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiac disease. Clinical presentation is heterogeneous, outcome ranging from benign asymptomatic forms to more malignant expressions resulting in sudden or heart failure death. To date, more than 450 mutations have been reported in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins, proteins of the Z-disc, intercalated discs and in genes involved in cardiac metabolism. DNA testing is helpful for confirming diagnosis in ambiguous situations, can give some prognostic information and represents the gold standard for preclinical diagnosis in family

Forward genetic screening allows for the identification of any genes important for a particular biological process or phenotype. While the power of this approach is broadly agreed on, the efficacy of currently available tools limits the strength of conclusions drawn from these experiments. This thesis describes a method to optimize molecular tools for high-throughput screening, both for shRNA and sgRNA based reagents. Using large shRNA efficacy datasets, we first designed an algorithm predicting the potency of shRNAs based on sequence determinants. Combined with a novel shRNA backbone that fur

Abstract:

G-quadruplexes are non-canonical nucleic acid secondary structures of increasing biological and medicinal interest due to their proposed physiological functions in transcription, replication, translation and telomere biology. Aberrant G4 formation and stabilisation have been linked to genome instability, cancer and other diseases. However, the specific genes and pathways involved are largely unknown, and the work within this thesis aims to investigate this. Stabilisation of G4s by small molecules can perturb G4-mediated processes and initial studies suggest that this approach has chemotherapeu

Abstract:

In the post-genomic era, the question of how genes give rise to the observable diversity of morphology, physiology, behaviour and disease susceptibility is becoming of one central importance. Even in a model system as well studied as the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, the function of the vast majority of genes, and the mechanisms by which they give rise to such diversity, remains unknown. Drosophila behaviour represents a sensitive system in which to evaluate novel methods of determining gene function. Traditionally the analysis of behavioural phenotypes has represented a time consuming, h

Abstract:

The Roma (Gypsies) are a European people composed of a mosaic of culturally heterogeneous populations. Linguistic analyses point to their origins in the Indian subcontinent. Cultural diversity in extant Romani populations suggests that they are descended from a mixture of Indian populations.

More recently, medical genetic research has detected identical founder mutations in separated Romani populations, which provides evidence of their relatedness. In this

Abstract:

The development of new drug therapies traditionally requires mass screening of thousands if not millions of substances to identify lead compounds. They are then further optimised to increase potency. The screening of the large pharmaceutical compound libraries can be incredibly expensive, with the industry responding by miniaturising the assays to smaller formats, enabling the compound screening to be automated and, importantly, eliminating assay reagents that are a major contributing cost for running large screens. A potential target for such an approach is the genetic recoding site of viru
