  1. 1. Archaeological Genetics - Approaching Human History through DNA Analysis

    Författare :Evangelia Daskalaki; Anders Götherström; Mattias Jakobsson; Walther Parson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ancient DNA; pyrosequencing; molecular genetics; aDNA; neolithization; evolutionary genetics; mtDNA; viking age; archaeological genetics; genetik; evolutionsgenetik; naturvetenskap; neolitisering; vikingatid; arkeologisk genetik; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Sammanfattning : There are a variety of archaeological questions, which are difficult to assess by traditional archaeological methods. Similarly, there are genetic and population genetic questions about human evolution and migration that are difficult to assess by studying modern day genetic variation. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Phylogeny of Artiodactyla and Cetacea - based on mitochondrial genomes

    Författare :Björn M Ursing; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genetics; mitochondrial genome; phylogeny; Artiodactyla; Cetacea; cytogenetics; Genetik; cytogenetik;

    Sammanfattning : Artiodactyla (eved-toed ungulates) and Cetacea (whales) are two mammalian orders that are commonly recognised as sistergroups. Recently it has been suggested that Cetacea originated within Artiodactyla, but the relationships among the different artiodactyl lineages and Cetacea have not been conclusively established. LÄS MER

  4. 3. A new perspective on avian phylogeny - a study based on mitochondrial genomes

    Författare :Anna Bartosch-Härlid; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genetics; thyroid; neoteni; mitochondrial DNA; phylogeny; Class Aves; Palaeognathae; cytogenetics; Genetik; cytogenetik;

    Sammanfattning : The Class Aves (birds) is generally divided into two main groups - the Palaeognathae and the Neognathae. Paleognathous birds are the flightless ratites and the tinamous, while Neognathae include all other extant birds (more than 9,000 species). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Mitochondrial Genome Analysis Using Next Generation Sequencing for Forensic Applications

    Författare :Kimberly Sturk-Andreaggi; Marie Allen; Antti Sajantila; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mitochondrial DNA; next generation sequencing; massively parallel sequencing; forensic genetics; nuclear mitochondrial DNA segment NUMT ; length heteroplasmy; haplogroup; quality control; population data; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis plays a specialized role in forensic applications, overcoming certain limitations of autosomal DNA markers. The high copy number and uniparental inheritance pattern of mtDNA are advantageous in cases involving shed hairs and aged skeletal elements, especially decades-old missing persons cases. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy : studies of genetic factors modifying the phenotype of the disease

    Författare :Malin Olsson; Ole B Suhr; Lisbeth Tranebjærg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Familial amyloid polyneuropathy; Amyloidosis; Transthyretin; Allele Frequency; Mitochondria; parent-of-origin; MicroRNA; Single Nucleotide Polymorphism; 3 Untranslated Regions genetics; Medical genetics; Medicinsk genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; genetik; Genetics; klinisk genetik; Clinical Genetics; medicin; Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Background. Familial Amyloidosis with Polyneuropathy (FAP) is an autosomal dominantly inherited systemic amyloid disease. The disease is caused by mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene, where close to 100 different amyloidogenic mutations have been identified. LÄS MER
