  1. 1. Constructing Evolutionary Trees - Algorithms and Complexity

    Författare :Anna Östlin; Institutionen för datavetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer science; Maximum homeomorphic subtrees; Consensus trees; Experiment model; Evolutionary trees; Complexity; Computational biology; Algorithms; Data structures; numerical analysis; systems; control; Datalogi; numerisk analys; system; kontroll; Biology; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis three general problems concerning construction of evolutionary trees are considered. Algorithms for the problems are presented and the complexity of the problems is investigated. The thesis consists of three corresponding parts. The first part is devoted to the problem of constructing evolutionary trees in the experiment model. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Evolutionary Approaches to Sequence Alignment

    Författare :Marcin Bogusz; Simon Whelan; Jeffrey Thorne; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molecular evolution; multiple sequence alignment; pair hidden Markov models; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Molecular evolutionary biology allows us to look into the past by analyzing sequences of amino acids or nucleotides. These analyses can be very complex, often involving advanced statistical models of sequence evolution to construct phylogenetic trees, study the patterns of natural selection and perform a number of other evolutionary studies.

  4. 3. Trees of Knowledge : Science and the Shape of Genealogy

    Författare :Petter Hellström; H. Otto Sibum; Jenny Beckman; Hanna Hodacs; John Tresch; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; cultural history of science; science and metaphor; science and visual representation; family trees; tree diagrams; information management; classification; natural history; philology; music theory; genealogy; evolution; secularisation; Enlightenment; French Revolution; Augustin Augier 1758–1825 ; Félix Gallet 1773–c. 1840 47 ; Henri Montan Berton 1767–1844 .; History of Sciences and Ideas; Idé- och lärdomshistoria;

    Sammanfattning : This study investigates early employments of family trees in the modern sciences, in order to historicise their iconic status and now established uses, notably in evolutionary biology and linguistics. Moving beyond disciplinary accounts to consider the wider cultural background, it examines how early uses within the sciences transformed family trees as a format of visual representation, as well as the meanings invested in them.

  5. 4. A forest dark : an evolutionary history of Norway spruce

    Författare :Alexis R. Sullivan; Xiao-Ru Wang; Nathaniel Street; María Rosario García-Gil; Bengt Oxelman; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phylogenetics; genome assembly; recombination; Picea; hybridization; mitogenome; Norway spruce; phylogeography; phylogenetic networks; plastome;

    Sammanfattning : Embedded within the relationships among species is a dense forest of gene trees, each with a potentially unique and discordant history. Such widespread genealogical heterogeneity is expected, but embracing this hierarchy of discordance while reconstructing the histories of populations and species remains a major challenge. LÄS MER

  7. 5. How could Christmas trees remain evergreen? : photosynthetic acclimation of Scots pine and Norway spruce needles during winter

    Författare :Pushan Bag; Stefan Jansson; Fransis Andre Wollman; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Scots Pine; Norway spruce; Photosynthesis; Winter adaptation; biologisk kemi; biological chemistry; biology; biologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology; Physiological Botany; fysiologisk botanik;

    Sammanfattning : Plants and other green organisms harvest sunlight by green chlorophyll pigments and covertit to chemical energy (sugars) and oxygen in a process called photosynthesis providing the foundation for life on Earth. Although it is unanimously believed that oceanic phytoplanktons are the main contributors to the global photosynthesis, the contribution of coniferous boreal forests distributed across vast regions of the northern hemisphere cannot be undermined.
