11. Genomics of chicken domestication and feralisation
Sammanfattning : Domestication can serve as a study system of rapid evolutionary change with wide-ranging effects on traits in animals. The chicken was domesticated from the Red Junglefowl and has diverged in behaviour, morphology and life history traits. LÄS MER
12. Genetic and immunological regulation of neuroinflammation
Sammanfattning : Multiple Sclerosis (MS) affects young adults and is characterized by chronic inflammation and demyelination in the central nervous system that leads to progressive worsening of disease. The cause of MS is incompletely understood and there is a need for more specific and effective treatments. LÄS MER
13. Exploring the transcriptome of the brain
Sammanfattning : Our knowledge of the transcriptome has become much more complex since the days of the central dogma of molecular biology. We now know that splicing takes place to create potentially thousands of isoforms from a single gene, and we know that RNA does not always faithfully recapitulate DNA if RNA editing occurs. LÄS MER
14. Evolution of Flowering Time in the Tetraploid Capsella bursa-pastoris (Brassicaceae)
Sammanfattning : Although polyploidy is believed to be a major source of evolutionary novelty, few studies have examined the genetic basis of phenotypic variation in wild polyploids. In this thesis I have studied the genetic basis of flowering time variation in the wild tetraploid crucifer Capsella bursa-pastoris, as well as the evolutionary history of this species. LÄS MER
15. FAM167A-BLK is a susceptibility locus in autoimmune diseases : characterization of the FAM167 gene family
Sammanfattning : Autoimmune diseases are complex multifactorial diseases, and their pathogenesis is only partially understood, but both genetic, as well as environmental factors, have been correlated to an increased risk for the diseases. Genome-wide association studies of Sjögren’s syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis have identified many risk loci; most studies include associations to the FAM167A-BLK locus.
