Unlocking Discovery with Next Generation Sequencing in South Africa
South Africa is a landscape of unparalleled genomic richness, hosting one of the world’s most genetically diverse human populations, diverse agricultural systems, and unique ecosystems. Each genome, microbial community, or crop population holds untold stories — patterns, mutations, and insights waiting to be uncovered. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is the key that unlocks these stories, […]
Genome Wide Association Studies
In the rapidly evolving field of genetics, Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have become the map to understanding how our genes shape health, traits, and disease. By scanning the genome at scale, GWAS enables researchers to uncover subtle genetic variations known as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) – single-point mutations in the DNA sequence that can influence […]
