RNA-seq research landscape in Africa: systematic review reveals disparities and opportunities
Eur J Med Res. 2023 Jul 22;28(1):244. doi: 10.1186/s40001-023-01206-3.ABSTRACTRNA sequencing has emerged as the standard method for transcriptome profiling of several human diseases. We performed a systematic review detailing the state of RNA-seq analyses in Africa from its inception till February 2022. Our goal was to provide an update on the state of RNA-seq analyses in Africa, including research gaps, funding information, participants information, authorship and collaborations. Following the PRISMA guidelines, we performed an exhaustive literature search for RNA-seq studies conducted in Africa, using PubMed, Scopus and ...

Doing Your Own Research
By David Spero Doctors used to be the only source of medical information. Not anymore. You can get much of the same information on the Internet. Problem is, not all of the information you'll come across online is good. Here are some ways to empower yourself with good Internet research: • It's good to have some general "search engine" sites as a starting point on your quest for information. I usually start with Google. Yahoo and Bing are also good. Search engine sites will give you a list of more specific sites where you can get the information you seek. For example, a Google search for "diabetes" gives over 70 milli...

7 strategies for funding med ed research
Studies show that medical education research suffers from a serious paucity of funding. As fewer institutions allocate dollars specifically for medical education projects, how can academic physicians ensure their innovative ideas find the financial support they deserve? Here are seven key strategies and resources to help.   Before writing a research proposal, physicians can take certain measures to make their search for funding more successful, according to a recent perspective article on medical education research in Academic Medicine. Some preliminary research steps the authors recommend include: 1.   Looking in t...
