Professional Accomplishment:

            My professional accomplishment is in the area of submission of gene sequences to Genbank and this includes the following:

1. Submission of 8 partial mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) gene sequences of the following small mammals: Lophuromys sikapusi, Rattus rattus, Mus minuitodes, Mastomys erythrolecus, Praomys daltoni, Diasmys sp., Crocidura olivieri with ascension numbers KT232249 – KT232251.
2. Submission of 43 partial mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1(CO1) gene sequences of the following snails: Archachatina marginata, Achatina achatina, Achatina fulica with ascension numbers KT290283- KT290319.

These sequences since they are deposited in Genbank are universally available for various uses for geneticists, taxonomists and evolutionary biologists.
