DATA SCIENCE SERIES: The genomics of a neglected tropical disease, Schistosomiasis

Dr. Julius Mulindwa presents on the genomics of schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease caused by parasitic worms. The study found a high prevalence of schistosomiasis in areas close to the Albert Nile and analyzed the transcriptome of infected individuals, identifying significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes.
