  1. 6. Biological Markers of Fertility

    Författare :Sarah Nordqvist; Helena Åkerud; Karin Kårehed; Agneta Skoog Svanberg; Anneli Stavreus-Evers; Geraldine Hartshorne; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; angiogenesis; embryogenesis; female reproductive tract; fertility; fertilization; Histidine-rich glycoprotein; intron; in vitro fertilization; oocyte; ovarian response; pregnancy; single nucleotide polymorphism; Src homology 2 domain-containing adapter protein B;

    Sammanfattning : Infertility affects 15 % of couples, which corresponds to 60 - 80 million worldwide. The microenvironments in which the oocyte, embryo and fetus mature are vital to the establishment and development of a healthy pregnancy. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Contributions to the understanding of diversity and evolution in the genus Coreomyces

    Författare :Henrik Sundberg; Stefan Ekman; Åsa Kruys; Donald H. Pfister; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ascomycetes; Coreomyces; Corixidae. DNA; DNA extraction; Fungi; ge-nome; host specificity; Laboulbeniales; mating types; MAT-loci; meth-odology; NGS; parasite; position specificity; systematics; taxonomy; Biology with specialization in Systematics; Biologi med inriktning mot systematik; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Organismal Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär organismbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The Laboulbeniales is an order of enigmatic ascomycete fungi that are obligate microscopic parasites of arthropods, which are usually non-detrimental. They typically display a high degree of host specificity, and the genus Coreomyces, which is the recurring theme of this thesis, is no exception. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Mine the Gaps : Evolution of Eukaryotic Protein Indels and their Application for Testing Deep Phylogeny

    Författare :Pravech Ajawatanawong; Sandra Baldauf; James McInerney; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; indel; insertion deletion; protein evolution; bioinformatics; non-bilateria; eukaryotes; phylogeny; Biology with specialization in Systematics; Biologi med inriktning mot systematik; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Sammanfattning : Insertions/deletions (indels) are potentially powerful evolutionary markers, but little is known about their evolution and few tools exist to effectively study them. To address this, I developed SeqFIRE, a tool for automated identification and extraction of indels from protein multiple sequence alignments. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Seaweed Invasions and Novel Chemical Defences

    Författare :Swantje Enge; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biological invasions; enemy release; increased competitive ability; novel weapon; chemical defence; plant-herbivore interactions; competition; seaweeds; Bonnemaisonia hamifera;

    Sammanfattning : Biological invasions pose a risk to the biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems in invaded areas. The reasons why some introduced species become dominant and widespread in their new environments is still largely an unsettled question. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Brain Aromatase in the guppy, Poecilia reticulata : Distribution, control and role in behaviour

    Författare :Stefan Hallgren; Håkan Olsén; Bertil Borg; Julie Bakker; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Oestrogen production; behaviour; anatomy; endocrinology; bio markers; endocrine disruption; Organism biology; Organismbiologi; funktionell morfologi; Functional Zoomorphology; Biology;

    Sammanfattning : Oestrogens are produced by aromatisation of androgens by the aromatase enzyme. In the vertebrate brain this synthesis has vital functions in nerve protection, cell proliferation and nerve development during injury respectively brain development. LÄS MER
