    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Amoeba; biogeography; cryptic species; dictyostelid; latitudinal gradient; multicellularity; protist; social amoeba; phylogenetics; systematics; new species; Biology with specialization in Systematics; Biologi med inriktning mot systematik;

    Sammanfattning : Dictyostelids (Amoebozoa) are a group of social amoebae consisting of approximately 150 species, which are found in terrestrial habitats worldwide. They are divided into eight major clades based on molecular phylogeny, and within these clades are many species complexes. LÄS MER

  3. 2. A small amoeba at the crossroads of the big RNAi world : MicroRNA biogenesis and Argonaute function in Dictyostelium discoideum

    Författare :Zhen Liao; Fredrik Söderbom; Gerhart E. H. Wagner; Christina Dixelius; Kriton Kalantidis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; RNAi; microRNA; Argonaute protein; miRNA biogenesis; Dictyostelium discoideum; social amoeba; Dicer; development; growth; Biology with specialization in Molecular Cell Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär cellbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Small non-coding RNA (ncRNA) mediated gene silencing, known as RNAi, is a key regulatory mechanism of gene expression in eukaryotes. MicroRNAs (miRNA), one major type of small ncRNAs, are about 21nt long and bound by Argonaute proteins. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Heterogeneous hybrids : Information Technology in Texts and Practices

    Författare :Pirjo Elovaara; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Information Technology; Feminist Technoscientific Studies; Actor-Network Theory; Librarians;

    Sammanfattning : How could one understand and interpret the phenomenon of information technology, is the overall research question of this licentiate dissertation. The point of departure is the way some official texts in Sweden define the concept of information technology. It is possible to identify two dominating discourses; the technical and the social.

  5. 4. Function and Evolution of Small Regulatory RNAs and their Associated Proteins : A Journey from Genome to Proteome

    Författare :Bart Edelbroek; Fredrik Söderbom; Jonathan R. Chubb; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microRNAs; non-coding RNAs; Evolution; Whole Genome Sequencing; Transcriptomics; Proteomics; small RNAseq; Amoebozoa; Multicellular development; Social amoebae; Comparative genomics; Genome annotation; Biologi med inriktning mot mikrobiologi; Biology with specialization in Microbiology;

    Sammanfattning : Organisms throughout the tree of life have evolved distinct ways to regulate gene expression. Some of these processes involve non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which are not translated but functional nonetheless. These ncRNAs are of utmost importance, with dysregulation of some causing severe developmental effects or even being lethal. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Ancient roles of non-coding RNAs in eukaryotic evolution : contributions from social amoebae and other protists

    Författare :Lotta Avesson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : RNAs not coding for proteins, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have many important roles in all kingdoms of life. Especially in eukaryotes, the regulatory functions of ncRNAs have been suggested as a major force in the evolution of complex traits. LÄS MER
