1. 6. Sensitive Identification Tools in Forensic DNA Analysis

   Författare :Hanna Edlund; Marie Allen; Niels Morling; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :forensic genetics; STRs; Y-chromosome; Pyrosequencing; mitochondrial DNA; skeletal remains; DNA extraction; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

   Sammanfattning : DNA as forensic evidence is valuable in criminal investigations. Implementation of new, sensitive and fast technologies is an important part of forensic genetic research. This thesis aims to evaluate new sensitive methods to apply in forensic DNA analysis including analysis of old skeletal remains. LÄS MER

3. 7. Initiation of Mammalian Mitochondrial DNA Replication

   Författare :Elisabeth Jemt; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mitochondria; mtDNA; DNA replication;

   Sammanfattning : Mitochondria produce most of the adenosine triphosphate required in a eukaryotic cell and they contain their own genome. The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a double stranded circular molecule that codes for proteins required for cellular respiration and RNA molecules involved in translation of these proteins. LÄS MER

4. 8. Sensitive Forensic DNA Analysis : Application of Pyrosequencing and Real-time PCR Quantification

   Författare :Hanna Andréasson; Marie Allen; Ulf Gyllensten; Pål Nyrén; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; forensic; sensitive DNA analysis; DNA quantification; mtDNA; Real-time PCR; Pyrosequencing; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik;

   Sammanfattning : The field of forensic genetics is growing fast and the development and optimisation of more sensitive, faster and more discriminating forensic DNA analysis methods is highly important. In this thesis, an evaluation of the use of novel DNA technologies and the development of specific applications for use in forensic casework investigations are presented. LÄS MER

5. 9. DNA precursor biosynthesis-allosteric regulation and medical applications

   Författare :Reza Rofougaran; Anders Hofer; Thomas Borén; Staffan Eriksson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; DNA biosynthesis; ribonucleotide reductase; allosteric regulation; Trypanosoma brucei; adenosine kinase; nucleoside analogs; mitochondrial DNA; TWINKLE; Biokemi; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

   Sammanfattning : Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is a key enzyme for de novo dNTP biosynthesis. We have studied nucleotide-dependent oligomerization of the allosterically regulated mammalian RNR using a mass spectrometry–related technique called Gas-phase Electrophoretic Mobility Macromolecule Analysis (GEMMA).

7. 10. 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
