1. Genome-Wide Studies of Transcriptional Regulation in Mammalian Cells
Sammanfattning : The key to the complexity of higher organisms lies not in the number of protein coding genes they carry, but rather in the intrinsic complexity of the gene regulatory networks. The major effectors of transcriptional regulation are proteins called transcription factors, and in this thesis four papers describing genome-wide studies of seven such factors are presented, together with studies on components of the chromatin and transcriptome.

2. Genome-Wide Studies of Transcriptional Regulation in Human Liver Cells by High-throughput Sequencing
Sammanfattning : The human genome contains slightly more than 20 000 genes that are expressed in a tissue specific manner. Transcription factors play a key role in gene regulation. By mapping the transcription factor binding sites genome-wide we can understand their role in different biological processes. LÄS MER
3. Functional Studies of Genes Associated with Muscle Growth in Pigs and Hair Greying in Horses
Sammanfattning : Domestic animals have become very different from their wild ancestors during domestication and animal breeding. This provides a good model to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic variation. In my thesis I have studied genes affecting two important traits, leanness in pigs and hair greying-associated melanoma in horses. LÄS MER
4. Transcription regulation and growth phase transition in hyperthermoacidophilic archaea
Sammanfattning : Organisms from the domain Archaea are ubiquitously represented on our planet and encompass diverse fascinating organisms. The genus Sulfolobus belonging to the phylum Crenarchaeota including hyperthermoacidophilic strains that grow optimally at 65-85°C and pH 2-3. LÄS MER
5. Genetic and Genomic Analysis of Transcriptional Regulation in Human Cells
Sammanfattning : There are around 20.000 genes in the human genome all of which could potentially be expressed. However, it is obvious that not all of them can be active at the same time. Thus, there is a need for coordination achieved through the regulation of transcription. LÄS MER
