  1. 1. Cloning and characterization of neuropeptide Y receptors of the Y1 subfamily in mammals and fish

    Författare :Paula Starbäck; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; G-protein; neuropeptide Y; panacreatic polypeptide; neuropeptide Y receptor; ortholog; zebrafish; guinea pig; pseudogene; evolution; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Neurology; neurologi;

    Sammanfattning : Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an abundant neurotransmitter in the nervous system and forms a family of evolutionarily related peptides together with peptide YY (PYY), pancreatic polypeptide (PP) and polypeptide Y (PY). These peptides are ligands to a family of receptors that mediate a wide range of physiological effects including stimulation of appetite. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The Carboxyl Ester Lipase Gene. Organization, Evolution and Transcriptional Regulation in Exocrine Pancreas and Mammary Gland

    Författare :Ulf Lidberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NF-1; pseudogene; evolution; pancreas; carboxyl ester lipase; regulation; duplication; promoter; enhancer; locus; gene structure; mammary gland;

    Sammanfattning : The carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) is an important enzyme for the intestinal absorption of dietary lipids. In humans the gene is highly expressed in exocrine pancreas and in the lactating mammary gland. It is secreted in an inactive form and becomes activated by bile salts in the intestine. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Methods and Applications in Comparative Bacterial Genomics

    Författare :Hans-Henrik Fuxelius; Siv Andersson; Björn Andersson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Biology; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : Comparative studies of bacterial genomes, now counting in the hundreds, generate massive amounts of information. In order to support a systematic and efficient approach to genomic analyses, a database driven system with graphic visualization of genomic properties was developed - GenComp. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Functional analysis of long non-coding RNAs in cancer

    Författare :Linda Vidarsdottir; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : For years the functional role of noncoding RNAs was greatly underestimated. Whole genome RNA sequencing projects that unraveled pervasive transcription emitting from large parts of the human genome changed those perspectives and prompted scientists to further look into the involvement of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in development and disease.

  7. 5. Population Genetics of Human Genomic Elements

    Författare :Thijessen Naidoo; Mattias Jakobsson; Guillaume Achaz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; population genetics; human genome; functional elements; natural selection; pseudogenes; loss-of-function; gene regulation; Y chromosome; Biology with Specialisation in Human Evolution and Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot människans evolution och genetik;

    Sammanfattning : The genomes of living organisms are composed of a multitude of functional units, which interact with each other and their environment in a highly regulated fashion, to facilitate the expression of an enduring (and evolving) phenotype. Several approaches have emerged in the effort to identify these functional units and explore their activities. LÄS MER
