Accurate annotation of plant genomes remains complex due to the presence of many pseudogenes arising from whole-genome duplication-generated redundancy or the capture and movement of gene fragments by transposable elements. Machine learning on genome...
Multi-trait and multi-environment data are common in animal and plant breeding programs. However, what is lacking are more powerful statistical models that can exploit the correlation between traits to improve prediction accuracy in the context of ge...
Genomic selection is revolutionizing plant breeding and therefore methods that improve prediction accuracy are useful. For this reason, active research is being conducted to build and test methods from other areas and adapt them to the context of gen...
Mimotopes could replace mycotoxins and their conjugates to develop immunoassay methods. The mimotopes obtained by phage display technology were mainly using monoclonal antibodies or polyclonal antibodies as targets. However, the mimotope of recombina...

How to mine the gene regulatory relationship and construct gene regulatory network (GRN) is of utmost interest within the whole biological community, however, which has been consistently a challenging problem since the tremendous complexity in cellul...
BACKGROUND: Maize is a leading crop in the modern agricultural industry that accounts for more than 40% grain production worldwide. THe double haploid technique that uses fewer breeding generations for generating a maize line has accelerated the pace...
This study assessed the ethanol and methanol contents of homemade spirit (Kachasu) sold in Blantyre, Malawi. The likelihood of ethanol and methanol toxicity, respectively, was determined through Monte Carlo simulations using reported Kachasu intake v...
