Understanding the factors associated with cholera outbreaks is an integral part of designing better approaches to mitigate their impact.Using a rich set of georeferenced case data from the cholera epidemic that occurred in Harare from September 2018 to January 2019, we apply spatio-temporal modelling to better understand how the outbreak unfolded a

Telomeres are DNA-protein complexes that cap and protect the ends of linear chromosomes.In almost all species, telomeric DNA has a G/C strand bias, and the short tandem repeats of the G-rich strand have the capacity to form into secondary structures in vitro, such as four-stranded G-quadruplexes.This has long prompted speculation that G-quadruplexe

Digital agriculture is exciting attention because of an expectation that food systems will be disrupted by new digital technologies through improvements in precision, efficiency, volume, speed of process or identity of product.This is against the background of the drive for sustainability in food systems.A diversity of technology applications is un
