  1. 11. The genetic composition and diversity of Francisella tularensis

    Författare :Pär Larsson; Anders Sjöstedt; Andrew K. Benson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Microbiology; tularemia; genotyping; evolution; microarray; genome sequencing; virulence; genome reduction; Mikrobiologi; Francisella tularensis; klinisk bakteriologi; Clinical Bacteriology;

    Sammanfattning : Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of the debilitating, sometimes fatal zoonotic disease tularemia. To date, little information has been available on the genetic makeup of this pathogen, its evolution, and the genetic differences which characterize subspecific lineages. These are the main areas addressed in this thesis. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Gene Regulation and Epigenetic Mechanisms in the Parasite Trypanosoma cruzi

    Författare :Patricia Respuela; Lena Åslund; George A.M. Cross; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Trypanosomes are unicellular protozoan parasites responsible for several human diseases that affect millions of people and cause thousands of casualties every year. They also represent a primitive eukaryotic model system harboring unique processes and basic regulatory mechanisms such as RNA-editing, polycistronic transcription and trans-splicing, first described in these organisms.

  4. 13. Structure, Evolution, and Expression of Proteins in the Male Reproductive Tract. Studies on Semenogelins, Beta-Microseminoprotein, and PC3-Secreted Microprotein

    Författare :Camilla Valtonen-André; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PC3-secreted microprotein; Clinical chemistry; Klinisk kemi; Semenogelin; Beta-microseminoprotein;

    Sammanfattning : Human semen has several important constituents, including the prostate secreted proteins beta-microseminoprotein (MSP), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), and the seminal-vesicle-derived coagulum proteins semenogelin I (SEMG1) and semenogelin II (SEMG2). The research underlying this thesis explored the evolution, expression and structure of seminal plasma proteins to provide further knowledge in the area of reproduction, particularly regarding MSP and the semenogelins.

  5. 14. Taking advantage of phylogenetic trees in comparative genomics

    Författare :Örjan Åkerborg; Jens Lagergren; Mathieu Blanchette; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Science; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

    Sammanfattning : Phylogenomics can be regarded as evolution and genomics in co-operation. Various kinds of evolutionary studies, gene family analysis among them, demand access to genome-scale datasets. But it is also clear that many genomics studies, such as assignment of gene function, are much improved by evolutionary analysis. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Cyanobacterial genome evolution subsequent to domestication by a plant (Azolla)

    Författare :John Larsson; Birgitta Bergman; William Martin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi; Plant Physiology; växtfysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Cyanobacteria are an ancient and globally distributed group of photosynthetic prokaryotes including species capable of fixing atmospheric dinitrogen (N2) into biologically available ammonia via the enzyme complex nitrogenase. The ability to form symbiotic interactions with eukaryotic hosts is a notable feature of cyanobacteria and one which, via an ancient endosymbiotic event, led to the evolution of chloroplasts and eventually to the plant dominated biosphere of the globe.
