  • Data is then extracted from BioMart to annotate each of the genes found in this region. (myexperiment.org)
  • 3. Creating awareness among ministries of health in the African Region will provide them with critical and relevant information on the reproductive cloning of human beings and its implications to the health status of the general population. (who.int)
  • This workflow takes in Entrez gene ids then adds the string "ncbi-geneid:" to the start of each gene id. (myexperiment.org)
