1. 1. Genetiska föreställningar : Mellan genus och gener i populär/vetenskapens visuella kulturer

   Författare :Cecilia Åsberg; Nina Lykke; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; popular science; visual culture; edutainment; the new genetics; genes; genres; gender; ethnicity; sexuality; the genetic imaginary; feminist cultural studies; science as culture; performativity; science and literature studies; naturvetenskap; genetik; massmedia; genus; reproduktion; etnicitet; populärvetenskap; humangenetik; genusaspekter; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

   Sammanfattning : This study investigates how representations of genes and genetics have given rise to new kinds of cultural imageries created and reflected in popular science media. The concept of popular/science is used here in order to circumvent the traditional diffusion model of science communication, and to focus instead on how popular science media taps into scientific discourse just as scientific representations draw on popular imagery.

3. 2. Advances in studying the role of genetic divergence and recombination in adaptation in non-model species

   Författare :Ramprasad Neethiraj; Christopher Wheat; Sören Nylin; Mathieu Joron; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Recombination; Genetic divergence; Lepidoptera; Genetic variation; Genetic diversity; Holocentric chromosomes; cis-regulatory variation; Allele-specific expression; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

   Sammanfattning : Understanding the role of genetic divergence and recombination in adaptation is crucial to understanding the evolutionary potential of species since they can directly affect the levels of genetic variation present within populations or species. Genetic variation in the functional parts of the genome such as exons or regulatory regions is the raw material for evolution, because natural selection can only operate on phenotypic variation already present in the population.

4. 3. Next generation tools for microbial cell factories

   Författare :Alister James Cumming; Daniel Daley; Neil Dixon; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbial cell factories; Recombinant protein production; Bacteria; Plasmid; Genetic sensor; Inducible promoter; Genetic cassette; biokemi; Biochemistry;

   Sammanfattning : The bacterium E. coli is a popular choice for expressing recombinant proteins. It is easy to culture and many molecular tools for are available for directing protein production. When producing recombinant proteins, high yields and good quality soluble products are desirable. LÄS MER

5. 4. Computational discovery of DNA methylation patterns as biomarkers of ageing, cancer, and mental disorders : Algorithms and Tools

   Författare :Behrooz Torabi Moghadam; Jan Komorowski; Manfred Grabherr; Jaak Vilo; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; DNA methylation; machine learning; biomarker; cancer; ageing; classification;

   Sammanfattning : Epigenetics refers to the mitotically heritable modifications in gene expression without a change in the genetic code. A combination of molecular, chemical and environmental factors constituting the epigenome is involved, together with the genome, in setting up the unique functionality of each cell type. LÄS MER

7. 5. Genetic Studies of Rheumatoid Arthritis using Animal Models

   Författare :Niklas Nordquist; William Dietrich; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Complex disease; autoimmune; rheumatoid arthritis; genetic; mapping; QTL; locus; linkage; animal model; rat; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Medical Genetics; medicinsk genetik;

   Sammanfattning : Predisposition to autoimmune diseases such as, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis, is caused by the effect of multiple genes and a strong influence from the environment. In this study, I have investigated genetic factors that confer susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis in a rat model. LÄS MER
