1. Deregulation and editing of microRNAs in metastatic prostate cancer
Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer bone metastasis is still not fully understood, and increased knowledge could aid in the development of better treatment options for patients in the future. This thesis focuses on microRNAs (miRNAs), which modulate gene expression in healthy and tumour cells. LÄS MER
2. Diversifying the transcriptome : Adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing in the mammalian brain
Sammanfattning : Metazoan transcriptomes are extensively modified by adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing, a process by which adenosines within double-stranded RNA are enzymatically deaminated to form inosines. Inosines has base-pairing characteristics similar to guanosine, meaning that A-to-I RNA editing results in functional rewriting of transcripts, affecting many biological processes. LÄS MER
3. Computational Modeling of Cancer Progression
Sammanfattning : Cancer is a multi-stage process resulting from accumulation of genetic mutations. Data obtained from assaying a tumor only contains the set of mutations in the tumor and lacks information about their temporal order. Learning the chronological order of the genetic mutations is an important step towards understanding the disease. LÄS MER
4. Studies on natural antisense RNAs and microRNAs
Sammanfattning : Regulatory RNAs are found in all kingdoms of life and involved in regulation of gene expression at various steps including RNA splicing, editing, stability, modification, export, translation and chromatin remodelling. A large number of regulatory RNAs have been described recently. LÄS MER
