  4. 2. Orphan Genes Bioinformatics : Identification and properties of de novo created genes

    Author : Walter Basile; Arne Elofsson; Diethard Tautz; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bioinformatics; de novo; orphans; evolutionary genetics; Biochemistry towards Bioinformatics; biokemi med inriktning mot bioinformatik;

    Abstract : Even today, many genes are without any known homolog. These "orphans" are found in all species, from Viruses to Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. For a portion of these genes, we might simply not have enough data to find homologs yet. READ MORE

  5. 3. Discovery of Novel Receptors for Lipid Mediators - a study leading to the identification of receptors involved in metabolism and the immune system

    Author : Niclas Nilsson; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk biologi; Clinical biology; Thiazolidinedione; SCFA; FFA; FFA2R; FFA1R; GPR43; GPR41; GPR40; BLT2; GPCR; Orphan; Receptor;

    Abstract : Intercellular communication is of crucial importance in regulating physiology and G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have evolved as an important mechanism in this process. Of the approximately 800 human GPCRs, about 160 are still considered to be “orphan” receptors for which an endogenous ligand remains to be identified. READ MORE

  6. 4. G Protein-Coupled Receptors; Discovery of New Human Members and Analyses of the Entire Repertoires in Human, Mouse and Rat

    Author : David E. Gloriam; Helgi Schiöth; Robert Fredriksson; Darren Flower; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Bioinformatics; G protein-coupled receptor; GPCR; Bioinformatics; Evolution; Orphan; Rhodopsin; Adhesion; Phylogeny; Bioinformatik;

    Abstract : G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are signal mediators that have a prominent role in the regulation of physiological processes and they make up the targets for 30-45% of all drugs. Papers I and II describe the discovery of new human GPCRs belonging to the Rhodopsin family, a family which contains many common drug targets. READ MORE

  7. 5. Orphan source detection in mobile gamma-ray spectrometry - Improved techniques for background assessment

    Author : Peder Kock; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gamma spectrometry; airborne; car-borne; radioactive; orphan sources; hypothesis testing; background radiation;

    Abstract : Hazardous radioactive sources out of regulatory control are referred to as orphan sources. Focussing on gamma-emitting orphan sources, this thesis describes methods that can be used in mobile gamma-ray spectrometry to perform real-time discrimination between an actual source signal and the signal due to the natural radiation background.
