However, most African countries are being left behind in this genomic revolution and if this is not urgently addressed, genomics will contribute to the widening of global and ethnic inequalities in health and economic well-being. In response to this challenge, the African Society of Human Genetics. The National Institutes of Health (NIH). And the Wellcome Trust (WT). For bioinformatics queries please contact the H3ABioNet helpdesk. Registration open: Ninth Meeting of the H3Africa Consortium.

Objectives of Project
http://www.trypanogen.net/objectives_of_project.html
Generate a database of human genetic variation in different African countries. Create an extensive biobank housed in network hubs. A major aim of TrypanoGEN is to create an extensive biobank of both retrospective and prospective samples with standardised parasitological and clinical data. To facilitate typanosome research, the collection will comprise endemic controls and feature susceptible and resistant phenotypes. These collections will form the basis of the network biorepository and will be e...Train...

About Human African Trypanosomiasis. Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) is caused by the protozoan parasite. Two species of human infective parasites. There are two species of. Which cause disease in man. Causes an acute form of the disease whereas. Which is responsible for the majority of human cases, results in a slower progressing chronic syndrome. Means that asymptomatic individuals cannot currently be easily detected. An endemic disease in East and West Africa. The importance of TrypanoGEN. It is i...

The TrypanoGEN Network
http://www.trypanogen.net/network.html
An interdisciplinary research team. A major objective of TrypanoGEN is to unite scientists from across Africa in order to integrate activities and combine complementary expertise. This integration is capitalising on existing resources and will facilitate rationalisation of future infrastructure developments and research activities. The network consists of parasitologists, geneticists, genome analysts, clinicians, statistician, bioinformaticians and ethicists who are collaborating to maximise the use ...
