6. Diversifying the transcriptome : Adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing in the mammalian brain
Sammanfattning : Metazoan transcriptomes are extensively modified by adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing, a process by which adenosines within double-stranded RNA are enzymatically deaminated to form inosines. Inosines has base-pairing characteristics similar to guanosine, meaning that A-to-I RNA editing results in functional rewriting of transcripts, affecting many biological processes. LÄS MER
7. The ADAR editing enzymes as therapeutic targets
Sammanfattning : Editing by deamination of adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) in double-stranded RNA is a common event in the human transcriptome. Altered levels of the essential ADAR1 activity are associated with disease. Children with mutations in the ADAR1 gene suffer from fatal Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) characterized by aberrant interferon expression. LÄS MER
8. Selective ADAR editing and the coordination with splicing
Sammanfattning : Maturation of precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNA) in eukaryotes includes processes like capping, 3’ end formation and splicing. Some premRNAs undergo an additional process called RNA editing where a single nucleotide is modified to generate a new nucleotide identity. LÄS MER
9. Computational Modeling of Cancer Progression
Sammanfattning : Cancer is a multi-stage process resulting from accumulation of genetic mutations. Data obtained from assaying a tumor only contains the set of mutations in the tumor and lacks information about their temporal order. Learning the chronological order of the genetic mutations is an important step towards understanding the disease. LÄS MER
10. Heart Regeneration : Lessons from the Red Spotted Newt
Sammanfattning : Unlike mammals, adult salamanders possess an intrinsic ability to regenerate complex organs and tissue types, making them an exciting and useful model to study tissue regeneration. The aims of this thesis are two fold, (1) to develop and characterize a reproducible cardiac regeneration model system in the newt, and (2) to decipher the cellular and molecular underpinnings involved in regeneration.
