  1. 1. Molecular Evolution of the Vertebrate Genome

    Författare :Kiwoong Nam; Hans Ellegren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I studied molecular evolution of the vertebrate genome, focusing on sex chromosomes, protein coding genes, and genome size variation. The evolutionary history of avian sex chromosomes was analyzed by comparing substitution rate among 12 gametologous gene pairs on the Z and W chromosomes. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The mast cell transcriptome and the evolution of granule proteins and Fc receptors

    Författare :Srinivas Akula; Lars Hellman; Sandra Kleinau; Arne Egesten; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mast cell; Fc receptors; Granule serine protease; Evolution and transcriptome.; Immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Protection against disease-causing pathogens, known as immunity, involves numerous cells organs, tissues and their products. To able to understand the biology of immune cells (hematopoietic cells) and their role in an immune system, we have used several different methods, including transcriptome analyses, bioinformatics, production of recombinant proteins and analyses of some of them, focusing on the granule proteases by substrate phage display.

  4. 3. Preservation of Marine Reptile Soft Parts: Reconstructing the Life and Death of Ancient Leviathans

    Författare :Randolph De La Garza; Berggrundsgeologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular paleontology; Taphonomy; Soft-tissues; Lagerstätten; Skin; Sea Turtle; Ichthyosaur; Fur Formation; Posidonia Shale; Paleobiology; Marine Reptiles;

    Sammanfattning : Marine reptiles constitute a diverse group of secondarily aquatic tetrapods that have inhabited the world’s oceans for the greater part of the last 250 million years. While certain large-scale anatomical changes have been observed through progressive alterations of their skeletal morphology (e.g. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The Molecular Evolution of Snakes as revealed by Mitogenomic Data

    Författare :Desiree Douglas; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Snakes (Serpentes) are a diverse suborder of reptiles that, along with lizards and amphisbaenians, belong to the reptilian order Squamata. The phylogenetic position of snakes relative to lizards and amphisbaenians has been debated for about 140 years. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Spatiotemporal Evolution of Neotropical Organisms: New Insights into an Old Riddle

    Författare :Alexandre Antonelli; Göteborgs universitet; []
