Functional non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) result in changes in the encoded amino acids, potentially leading to structural and functional alterations in the mutant proteins. So far, most genetic studies have concentrated on SNPs located in the IL1B promoter region, without addressing nsSNPs and their association with multifactorial diseases.

However, no existing study has systematically examined the trends and evolution of research on pesticidal toxins from a scientometric perspective. This study aimed to analyze the trends and hotspots of global research in this field.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: () is a ubiquitous bacterium that affects nearly half of the world's population with a high morbidity and mortality rate. Polymorphisms within the tumor necrosis factor-alpha () promoter region are considered a possible genetic basis for this disease.
Aim: To functionally characterize the genetic variations in the 5'-region (-584 to +107) of Sudanese patients infected with using in silico tools.
Objective: In this study, we analyzed the molecular evolution of Staphylococcus aureus isolates using 16S rRNA gene and phylogenetic analysis to detect the prevalence of S. aureus infections in Sudan.
Results: Molecular detection of S.
Background: is a human opportunistic pathogen that can cause life-threatening systemic infections. Although there are multiple effective vaccines against fungal infections and some of these vaccines are engaged in different stages of clinical trials, none of them have yet been approved by the FDA.
Aim: Using immunoinformatics approach to predict the most conserved and immunogenic B- and T-cell epitopes from the fructose bisphosphate aldolase (Fba1) protein of .

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infects nearly half of the world's population with a variation in incidence among different geographic regions. Genetic variants in the promoter regions of the IL1B gene can affect cytokine expression and creates a condition of hypoacidity which favors the survival and colonization of H.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: () is ubiquitous among humans and one of the best-studied examples of an intimate association between bacteria and humans. Phylogeny and Phylogeography of strains are known to mirror human migration patterns and reflect significant demographic events in human prehistory. In this study, we analyzed the molecular evolution of strains detected from different tribes and regions of Sudan using gene and the phylogenetic approach.
