Abstract
The Human Heredity and Health in Africa consortium (H3Africa)
was conceived to facilitate the application of genomics technologies to improve
health across Africa. Here, we describe how the Collaborative African
Genomics Network (CAfGEN) of the H3Africa consortium is using genomics to
probe host genetic factors important to the progression of HIV and
HIV-tuberculosis (TB) coinfection in sub-Saharan Africa.
Methods: CAfGEN is an H3Africa collaborative centre comprising expertise
from the University of Botswana; Makerere University; Baylor College of v
