Identification and validation of SSR markers linked to Striga gesneroides (willd.) vatke gene race 2 in cowpea |Vigna unguiculata (l.) Walp] in Mali
Diallo S., Sawadogo N., Ouedraogo M. H., Coulibaly B.S., Batieno Joseph B.T.J., Sawadogo M.
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) Is one of the most important grain legumes grown in Mali. But its production is strongly limited by the SG2 strain of Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke which constitutes one of the major biotic constraints. The F2 populations resulting from the crossing between the variety IT97K-499-35 (Resistant parent)(...)

Mutations in GPSM2 cause Chudley-McCullough syndrome (CMCS), an autosomal recessive neurological disorder characterized by early-onset sensorineural deafness and brain anomalies. Here, we show that mutation of the mouse orthologue of GPSM2 affects actin-rich stereocilia elongation in auditory and vestibular hair cells, causing deafness and bal(...)

Options in human papillomavirus (HPV) detection for cervical cancer screening: comparison between full genotyping and a rapid qualitative HPV-DNA assay in Ghana
Dorcas Obiri-Yeboah, Yaw Adu-Sarkodie, Florencia Djigma, Kafui Akakpo, Ebenezer Aniakwa-Bonsu, Daniel Amoako-Sakyi, Jacques Simpore, Philippe Mayaud
Background
Modern cervical cancer screening increasingly relies on the use of molecular techniques detecting high-risk oncogenic human papillomavirus (hr-HPV). A major challenge for developing countries like Ghana has been the unavailability and costs of HPV DNA-based testing. This study compares the performance of careHPV, a semi-rapid and a(...)
