  1. 16. Analysis of domestic dog mitochondrial DNA sequence variation for forensic investigations

    Författare :Helen Angleby; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biotechnology; forensics; mtDNA; control region; hair; domestic dog; breed; Bioteknik; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The first method for DNA analysis in forensics was presented in 1985. Since then, the introduction of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has rendered possible the analysis of small amounts of DNA and automated sequencing and fragment analysis techniques have facilitated the analyses.

  3. 17. 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

  4. 18. Molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial DNA replication

    Författare :Teresa Holmlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Mitochondria; mtDNA; replication; helicase; TWINKLE; POLgamma; POLgammaB; mtSSB; adPEO;

    Sammanfattning : Mitochondria are the energy producing organelles of eukaryotic cells. The organelle has its own genome, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that encodes 13 subunits of the respiratory chain (RC) complexes, two rRNAs and 22 tRNAs. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Biochemical studies of mitochondrial DNA maintenance and topology

    Författare :Direnis Erdinc; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mtDNA maintenance; topoisomerase; replication;

    Sammanfattning : Mitochondria are crucial organelles in eukaryotic cells that produce the majority of adenosine trisphosphate used by cells as an energy currency to drive metabolic processes. Due to the endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria, they have their own genetic material, a small circular double-stranded molecule (mtDNA) of 16. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Molecular insights into mitochondrial DNA replication

    Författare :Javier Miralles Fusté; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Mitochondria are organelles found in eukaryotic cells. These organelles produce most of the adenosine triphosphate that cells use as a source of energy. Mitochondria contain their own genomic material, a circular DNA genome (mtDNA) that encodes subunits of the respiratory chain complexes and RNA components needed for mitochondrial translation. LÄS MER
