1. Orphan Genes Bioinformatics : Identification and properties of de novo created genes
Sammanfattning : Even today, many genes are without any known homolog. These "orphans" are found in all species, from Viruses to Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. For a portion of these genes, we might simply not have enough data to find homologs yet. LÄS MER
2. Designing for the incorporation of programming in mathematical education : Programming as an instrument for mathematical problem solving
Sammanfattning : This study explored Swedish upper secondary school students’ use of programming for mathematical purposes. The aim of the study was to investigate the process through which students learn how to use a programming environment as a technical artefact during mathematical problem solving and how the orchestration of such learning situations could facilitate this process.

3. Modern Genes : Body, Rationality and Ambivalence
Sammanfattning : The main objective of this ethnological thesis is to investigate the linkage between everyday life with a genetic disease and intrinsic patterns of modernity. The thesis is a compilation thesis that contains four individual articles each addressing the everyday experience of a genetic disease from different angles, with different research questions and theoretical presumptions.

4. Comparative sequencing of candidate genes in complex disease
Sammanfattning : Complex multi-factorial diseases such as cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological and respiratory disorders affect a great number of people across the world. In the post-Human Genome Sequencing era, genome wide association studies are increasingly viable alternatives to linkage approaches in locating disease genes. LÄS MER
5. Functional association networks for disease gene prediction
Sammanfattning : Mapping of the human genome has been instrumental in understanding diseasescaused by changes in single genes. However, disease mechanisms involvingmultiple genes have proven to be much more elusive. Their complexityemerges from interactions of intracellular molecules and makes them immuneto the traditional reductionist approach. LÄS MER
