    Abstract: Sickle cell anaemia is one of the haemoglobin abnormalities resulting from a genetic mutation— it is caused by inheriting two faulty genes that result in an abnormal substitution of glutamate for valine on the beta chain of haemoglobin, which causes haemoglobin molecules to stick together. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, 20 o... Show More

    Abstract: Rice is the most widely consumed staple crop in Africa and consumption continues to grow at a rapid pace with increasing population. Success in breeding programs are largely dependent on the genetic diversity of a crop. Genetic variability occurs due to genetic differences in individuals within a given population, which is the basis of plant breedi... Show More
