2. 1. Fungal DNA, Mould, Dampness and Allergens in Schools and Day Care Centers and Respiratory Health

   Author : Guihong Cai; Dan Norbäck; Christer Janson; Nils Åberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Day care centers; Quantitative PCR; Fungal DNA; Allergens; Indoor environment; Building dampness; Bacteria; Mycotoxins; Respiratory symptoms; Asthma; School environment; Viable moulds; School children; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; Arbets- och miljömedicin;

   Abstract : Day care centers and schools are important environments for children, but few epidemiological studies exist from these environments. Mould, dampness, fungal DNA and allergens levels in these environments and respiratory health effects in school children were investigated in this thesis. READ MORE

4. 2. Oxidative damage and the DNA glycosylase MutYH

   Author : Kristina Jansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Oxidative damage; 8-oxo-7; 8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine; Base excision repair; DNA glycosylase; Mismatch repair; DNA damage checkpoint; 9-1-1 complex; Glutathione-S-transferases; Colon cancer.;

   Abstract : The DNA glycosylase MutYH is highly conserved throughout evolution, and homologs are found in most eukaryotes and prokaryotes examined. MutYH functions as a base excision repair DNA glycosylase that excises adenines misincorporated opposite 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), one of the most stable products of oxidative DNA damage.

5. 3. Development of molecular techniques for fungal diagnostic research

   Author : Qing-Yin Zeng; Åsa Rasmuson-Lestander; Xiao-Ru Wang; Aino Nevalainen; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Fungi; DNA markers; Aerosols; Detection and quantification; Environmental monitoring; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

   Abstract : Fungi are present everywhere in indoor and outdoor environments. Many fungi are toxigenic or pathogenic that may cause various public health concerns. Rapid detection, quantification and characterization of fungi in living and working environments are essential for exposure risk assessment to safe guard public health. READ MORE

6. 4. Fungal molecular ecology in boreal forests and challenges associated with unidentified environmental DNA sequences

   Author : Kerri Kluting; Anna Rosling; Martin Ryberg; Sara Branco; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; amplicon sequence variant ASV ; Archaeorhizomycetes; environmental DNA sequencing; high-throughput sequencing; integrative taxonomy; pine forest; podzol soil profile; Pucciniomycotina; Tomicus piniperda; voucherless specimens; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

   Abstract : Many fungi are characteristically difficult to observe and collect, making the process of documenting the world’s fungal diversity challenging. The vast majority of fungal species are undescribed. READ MORE

7. 5. Genomics of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi : Expanding knowledge, one assembly at a time

   Author : Merce Montoliu-Nerin; Anna Rosling; Hanna Johannesson; Nicolas Corradi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; genomics; arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi; phylogenomics; DNA; evolution; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

   Abstract : Most life forms that inhabit Earth today are still unknown or are difficult to study. Accessing their DNA can give us information of their biology, ecology, and evolution, even when unculturable. The research here presented focused on method development for genomic research of non-model organisms. READ MORE
