1. 16. Bordering through genetics : DNA testing, family reunification and Swedish migration control

   Författare :Disa Helander; Linda Berg; Aina Tollefsen; Anna Bredström; Irene Molina; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; DNA; family reunification; migration; borders; biometric technology; science; knowledge; feminist theory; queer; postcolonialism; ethnography; Sweden; genusvetenskap; gender studies;

   Sammanfattning : After people flee to Sweden and are granted asylum, their family members must apply to the Swedish migration authorities in order to be reunited with their loved ones in Sweden. As part of this process, some applicants must prove their relationships through DNA analysis. LÄS MER

3. 17. Fusing Domain Knowledge with Data : Applications in Bioinformatics

   Författare :Claes Andersson; Jan Komorowski; Mats Gustafsson; Yves Moreau; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Bioinformatics; cell cycle; cancer chemotherapy; predictive tests; performance estimation; bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

   Sammanfattning : Massively parallel measurement techniques can be used for generating hypotheses about the molecular underpinnings of a biological systems. This thesis investigates how domain knowledge can be fused to data from different sources in order to generate more sophisticated hypotheses and improved analyses. LÄS MER

4. 18. Genetic studies in mood disorders

   Författare :Magnus Lekman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Mood disorders, including bipolar disorder (BPD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), are highly complex psychiatric disorders. Decades of genetic studies have generated a large number of putative genetic susceptibility variants. However, with exception of CACNA1C, SYNE1 and ANK3 in BPD no robust association has as yet been identified. LÄS MER

5. 19. Platelet monoamine oxidase : From genetic regulation to behavior

   Författare :Håkan Garpenstrand; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; monoamine oxidase; platelet; personality; CNS; serotonin; dopamine; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; medicinsk farmakologi; Medical Pharmacology;

   Sammanfattning : Genetic and environmental factors contribute to the development of personality and vulnerability forpsychiatric disorders. The activity of monoamine oxidase in platelets (trbc-MAO), which is mainlygenetically determined, correlates to personality traits such as sensation-seeking and impulsiveness, andlow trbc-MAO activity is more common in patients with type 2 alcoholism.

7. 20. Genetic pathways controlling CNS development : The role of Notch signaling in regulating daughter cell proliferation in Drosophila

   Författare :Caroline Bivik Stadler; Stefan Thor; Jan-Ingvar Jönsson; Allison Bardin; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : The human central nervous system (CNS) displays the greatest cellular diversity of any organ system, consisting of billions of neurons, of numerous cell sub-types, interconnected in a vast network. Given this enormous complexity, decoding the genetic programs controlling the multistep process of CNS development remains a major challenge. LÄS MER
