  1. 6. Functional Genomics of Bone Metabolism : Novel Candidate Genes Identified by Studies in Chicken Models

    Författare :Carl-Johan Rubin; Andreas Kindmark; Östen Ljunggren; Leif Andersson; David Burt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Molecular medicine; QTL; Bone; Osteoporosis; Gene expression; Microarray; Domestication; Molekylärmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Osteoporosis is a disease that leads to decreased bone mineral density (BMD), an altered bone micro-architecture and fragile bones. The disease is highly heritable and numerous genes are thought to be involved, making it difficult to identify the causative genetic elements. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Studies of Intracellular Transport and Anticancer Drug Action by Functional Genomics in Yeast

    Författare :Marie Gustavsson; Hans Ronne; Anders Blomberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 5-fluorouracil; tRNA modifications; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; carbamoyl phosphate synthase; V-ATPase; Functional genomics; Funktionsgenomik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the use of functional genomics screens in yeast to study anticancer drug action and intracellular transport. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae provides a particularly useful model system for global drug screens, due to the availability of knockout mutants for all yeast genes. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Functional genomics of vascular endothelial cells

    Författare :Elisabet Wallgard; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Vasculature; endothelial cells; angiogenesis; vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF ; Notch; transcriptome; genomics; microarray; tumor; retina; morpholino knockdown;

    Sammanfattning : Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from preexisting ones, is a process involved in normal development as well as in several pathological conditions, such as cancer, ischemic heart disease, wound healing and certain retinal complications. Antiangiogenic targeting is therefore a promising new therapeutic principle. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Functional genomics approaches to dissect causal DNA variations in obesity and type 2 diabetes

    Författare :Mi Huang; Genetisk och molekylär epidemiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; GWAS; Obesity; Type 2 diabetes; CRISPR Cas9; precision medicine; adipocytes; functional genomics;

    Sammanfattning : GWAS studies have identified hundreds of loci that associate with obesity and type 2 diabetes. However, the functional relevance of the genetic variants, and their impact on disease or traits, is largely unknown. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Inference of functional association networks and gene orthology

    Författare :Thomas Schmitt; Erik L. L. Sonnhammer; Søren Brunak; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; orthology; InParanoid; FunCoup; systems biology; biological networks; network inference; functional coupling; functional association; biokemi; inriktning teoretisk kemi; Biochemistry with Emphasis on Theoretical Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Most proteomics and genomics experiments are performed on a small set of well-studied model organisms and their results are generalized to other species. This is possible because all species are evolutionarily related. When transferring information across species, orthologs are the most likely candidates for functional equivalence. LÄS MER
