A bioinformatics analysis and homology modeling of polyadenylate binding protein of Plasmodium falciparum 3D7

Malaria is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in tropical and sub-tropical parts of the world. Plasmodium falciparum polyadenylate binding protein (PABP) plays a vital role in the stable RNA accumulation of host cells during P. falciparum malaria parasite infection. This protein mediates the liver stage invasion of the parasite by binding to poly-A tail of the mRNA using its globular domains that contain...

Development of information system for tracking breeding traits of improved crops

Plant breeding involves application of a group of systems targeted at transporting collected decent parents’ traits to produce an improved crop in the offspring. Cross-breeding and selection in plant breeding has been able to considerably improve yields as well as pest and disease resistance of crops. Efficiency in crop breeding research programs is contingent upon the aptitude of breeders making it possible to...
