2. 1. Sensitive Identification Tools in Forensic DNA Analysis

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

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE

4. 2. Organic phosphorus speciation in environmental samples : Method development and applications

   Author : Julia V. Paraskova; Per J.R. Sjöberg; Emil Rydin; William T. Cooper; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic phosphorus; DNA; phospholipids; inositol phosphates; sediment; soil; extraction; liquid chromatography LC ; mass spectrometry MS ; Kemi med inriktning mot analytisk kemi; Chemistry with specialization in Analytical Chemistry;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the development of new methodology for the identification and quantification of organic phosphorus compounds in environmental samples.Phosphorus is a vital element for primary production and one of the factors contributing to eutrophication. READ MORE

5. 3. Competitive-Binding Based Optical DNA Mapping - From Bacterial Plasmids to the Human Genome

   Author : Vilhelm Müller; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; genetics; single-molecule; nanofluidics; DNA; antibiotic resistance; optical DNA mapping; plasmids; competitive binding; fluorescence microscopy; bacteria;

   Abstract : Significant advances within the field of DNA sequencing have allowed us to study DNA at a level of detail that was previously impossible. However, dynamic genomic regions with a high degree of structural variations, while being linked to disease in humans and increased resistance to antibiotics, are still challenging to characterize.

6. 4. DNA-dependent protein kinase in human cells

   Author : Annahita Sallmyr; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; enzymology; virology; mycology; mykologi; virologi; Proteiner; enzymologi; bacteriology; Microbiology; Sjögren s syndrome; HL60; PMN; Ku86v; Ku86; DNA-PK; DNA DSBs; NHEJ; Proteins; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi;

   Abstract : DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) is a holoenzyme consisting of a regulatory subunit, the heterodimeric Ku70/86, and a catalytic subunit known as DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs). DNA-PK takes part in a number of cellular functions including growth control, immunoglobulin gene rearrangement and DNA repair. READ MORE

7. 5. Debugging metabarcoding for insect biodiversity studies

   Author : Daniel Marquina Hernández; Fredrik Ronquist; Owen Wangensteen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; metabarcoding; insects; non-destructive; DNA extraction; Malaise trap; preservative ethanol; environmental DNA; systematisk zoologi; Systematic Zoology;

   Abstract : Insects are one of the most abundant and diverse animal groups, and they include many valuable ecological indicator species, but taxonomic discovery projects and biodiversity surveys targeting this group are often challenging. While mass trapping devices allow the collection of insects in great numbers, the task of identifying the species present is a painstaking and resource-demanding process. READ MORE
