  1. 1. The role of chromatin in the induction and repair of DNA damage

    Författare :Mats Ljungman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; DNA damage; Chromatin; Kromatin; DNA;

    Sammanfattning : The role of chromatin in the induction and repair of DNA damage has a dual nature.The constituent proteins of chromatin protect the DNA against the induction of DNAdamage, while at the same time they reduce the accessibility of DNA to repair enzymes. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Unravelling Mechanistic Insights of Eukaryotic Transcriptional Control

    Författare :Johanna Hörberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transcriptional control; Gene expression regulation; DNA supercoiling; DNA methylation; DNA-protein recognition; Basic-Leucine-Zipper transcription factors; Basic-Helix-Loop-Helix transcription factors; Sequence specific DNA plasticity; Transcription factor cooperativity; Cancer; Molecular modelling; Molecular dynamics;

    Sammanfattning : DNA transcription involves the association of multiple proteins with DNA to convert the genetic information into messenger-RNA transcripts, which later will be translated into proteins. Con-trolled regulation of transcription is imperative for preserving the healthy and homeostatic state of cells. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Electric DNA arrays for determination of pathogenic Bacillus cereus

    Författare :Yanling Liu; Sven-Olof Enfors; Helena Anderson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bacillus cereus; haemolysin; non-haemolytic enterotoxin; cytotoxin K-2; cereulide; toxin-coding genes; bacterial colony; electric DNA chip; ultrasonication; DNA fragmentation; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Silicon-based electric chip arrays were developed for characterization of Bacillus cereus with respect to the capacity to produce toxins involved in food poisoning and foodborne infections. Bacteria of the B. cereus group contain different sets of four toxins encoded by eight genes. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Barcoded DNA Sequencing for Parallel Protein Detection

    Författare :Mahya Dezfouli; Afshin Ahmadian; Ulf Landegren; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; DNA barcoding; antibody labeling; antibody oligonucleotide bio-conjugation; DNAassisted proteomics; immuno-sequencing I-Seq ; droplet-based system; large-scale data analysis; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Sammanfattning : The work presented in this thesis describes methodologies developed for integration and accurate interpretation of barcoded DNA, to empower large-scale-omics analysis. The objectives mainly aim at enabling multiplexed proteomic measurements in high-throughput format through DNA barcoding and massive parallel sequencing. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Population genomic analyses of regulatory variation and selection in Brassicaceae species

    Författare :Robert Horvath; Tanja Slotte; Peter Hambäck; Douglas G. Scofield; Matthew Webster; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Capsella grandiflora; Arabidopsis thaliana; Arabidopsis lyrata; natural selection; gene expression variation; DNA and gene body methylation; transposable elements; DNA accessibility; gene expression noise; epigenetic silencing; linked selection; ekologi och evolution; Ecology and Evolution;

    Sammanfattning : The impact of selection on regulatory variation and the contribution of regulatory changes to phenotypic variation has long been debated in evolutionary genetics. Because cis-regulatory elements such as promoters and enhancers can be difficult to identify, it has been more challenging to quantify the impact of selection on variation in cis-regulatory regions than in protein-coding regions.
