1. 1. Whole Genome Sequencing of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

   Författare :Astrid von Mentzer; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ETEC; whole genome sequencing; evolution; colonization factor; reverse genetics;

   Sammanfattning : Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infections are a common cause of diarrhea but little is known about the evolution and genomic composition of ETEC. The main aim of this thesis was to generate a large collection of whole genome sequenced ETEC isolates to study the evolution of such bacteria on a global level and to search for novel colonization factors (CFs) using both classical and cutting-edge genomic techniques.

3. 2. Characterizing the spectrum of somatic alterations in canine and human cancers

   Författare :Sharadha Sakthikumar; Kerstin Lindblad-Toh; Richard Rosenquist Brandell; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dog; osteosarcoma; hemangiosarcoma; glioblastoma; non-coding; whole-exome; whole-genome; sequencing; bioinformatics; comparative genetics.;

   Sammanfattning : Cancers arise as a result of deleterious somatic alterations accumulating in the genome during the process of cell division. These alterations arise either via exposure to mutagens or due to errors occurring during DNA replication. LÄS MER

4. 3. Technologies for Single Cell Genome Analysis

   Författare :Erik Borgström; Afshin Ahmadian; Sten Linnarsson; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; DNA; sequencing; single molecule; single cell; whole genome amplification; exome sequencing; emulsions; barcoding; phasin; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

   Sammanfattning : During the last decade high throughput DNA sequencing of single cells has evolved from an idea to one of the most high profile fields of research. Much of this development has been possible due to the dramatic reduction in costs for massively parallel sequencing. LÄS MER

5. 4. Phasing single DNA molecules with barcode linked sequencing

   Författare :David Redin; Afshin Ahmadian; Ulf Gyllensten; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Single molecule sequencing; DNA barcoding; whole genome haplotyping; linked-read sequencing; phasing; de novo genome assembly.; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

   Sammanfattning : Elucidation of our genetic constituents has in the past decade predominately taken the form of short-read DNA sequencing. Revolutionary technology developments have enabled vast amounts of biological information to be obtained, but from a medical standpoint it has yet to live up to the promise of associating individual genotypes to phenotypic states of wide-spread clinical relevance.

7. 5. Somatic Mutations in Breast Cancer Genomes : Discovery and Validation of Breast Cancer Genes

   Författare :Xiang Jiao; Tobias Sjöblom; Anne-Lise Børresen-Dale; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; breast cancer; cancer gene; pathway; somatic mutation; structural alteration; sequencing; whole genome amplification; Genetics; Genetik; Medical Genetics; Medicinsk genetik;

   Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. However, the genetic alterations that lead to breast cancer are not fully understood. This thesis aims to identify novel genes of potential mechanistic, diagnostic or therapeutic interest in breast cancers by mutational analysis and whole-genome sequencing. LÄS MER
