1. Patentability of nucleic acid related inventions in Europe and in the USA
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
2. Development of New Methods for Inferring and Evaluating Phylogenetic Trees
Sammanfattning : Inferring phylogeny is a difficult computational problem. Heuristics are necessary to minimize the time spent evaluating non optimal trees. In paper I, we developed an approach for heuristic searching, using a genetic algorithm. Genetic algorithms mimic the natural selections ability to solve complex problems. LÄS MER
3. A Genetic Survey of the Pathogenic Parasite Trypanosoma cruzi
Sammanfattning : Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas´ disease, is an evolutionarily ancient species with distinct biological and immunological characteristics. A fundamental understanding of the basic biology of the parasite is necessary in order to develop reliable therapeutic and prophylactic agents against T. cruzi. We have, as a part of the T. LÄS MER
4. Gene finding in Populus- The Bioinformatics of a EST program
Sammanfattning : During the course of the work described in this thesis, ESTsequencing project was initiated in woody plant poplar forlarge scale gene discovery in a tree specie. Since most of thetree genomes are considerably large in size, EST sequencing wasconsidered to be a cost effective method for gene discovery. LÄS MER
5. Molecular Characterization of Genomic Amplifications in Pancreatic Cancer
Sammanfattning : Pancreatic cancer includes multiple histologic subtypes that show large differences in their clinical and biological characteristics. Despite this diversity, more than 85% of the neoplasms in the organ are malignant ductal adenocarcinomas, which are the focus of the present thesis. LÄS MER
