This month, we focused our newsletter we focus on the launch of Genomics Africa, a KRISP & DIPLOMICS initiative to provide access to high-quality, output-driven, customer-centric and cost-effective genomics services in Africa . In our newsletter, we highlight the Genomics Africa activities on Human Genomes, Animals & Plants and Pathogens & Microbes. We want to challenge the status quo and allow the genomics revolution to benefit Africa.
This issue's highlights are:
- Genomics Africa: KRISP & DIPLOMICS launch Genomics Africa
- Genomics Africa: Sequencing Human Genomes in Africa to Fight Disease & Record Human History
- Genomics Africa: PACBIO, ONT, MGI-SEQ, Illumina and Sanger technology to sequence Animals & Plants in Africa
- Genomics Africa: Internationally competitive prices and pipelines for viral and bacteria data generation and analysis in Africa
- Genomics Africa: SAMRC funds KRISP & Oxford to sequence HIV positive Children who are able to control the virus and do not progress to AIDS
- Genomics Africa: Decoding the South African Indian genome for diabetes and heart disease health risk
