  2. 1. Genome-wide Characterization of RNA Expression and Processing

    Author : Ammar Zaghlool; Lars Feuk; Rickard Sandberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; RNA sequencing; RNA splicing; RNA processing; Gene expression; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : The production of fully mature protein-coding transcripts is an intricate process that involves numerous regulation steps. The complexity of these steps provides the means for multilayered control of gene expression. READ MORE

  4. 2. Versatile and Antique World of RNA : The Simplicity of RNA Mediated Catalysis

    Author : Ema Kikovska; Leif Kirsebom; Venkat Gopalan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Microbiology; RNA Catalysis; RNase P; Metal ions; tRNA Processing; Ribozyme; Mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : RNA is the only biological molecule that can function both as a repository of information and as a catalyst. This, together with the ability to self-replicate, led to recognition of RNA as ‘prelude to life’.My work highlights some of the important features of RNA as a catalyst, exemplified by RNase P.

  5. 3. Regulation of RNA Processing in Human Papillomavirus Type 16

    Author : Margaret Rush; Stefan Schwartz; Jörgen Kjems; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; RNA processing; human papillomavirus; HPV-16; alternative splicing; polyadenylation; exonic splicing enhancer; 3 UTR; upstream polyadenylation element; SR proteins; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is the major cause of cervical cancer. HPV-16 gene expression is tightly linked to the differentiation programme of the infected epithelium. Expression of the late genes, L1 and L2, encoding the capsid proteins, is delayed until the more terminally differentiated cells. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mitochondrial RNA processing in health and disease

    Author : Isabelle Laine; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Mitochondria are often described as the powerhouses of the cell, providing the main cellular energy source in the form of adenosine triphosphate. Five enzyme complexes, collectively termed the oxidative phosphorylation system, use the reducing power from nutrients to synthesise adenosine triphosphate via cellular respiration. READ MORE

  7. 5. Hidden patterns that matter : statistical methods for analysis of DNA and RNA data

    Author : Therese Kellgren; Patrik Rydén; Sara Sjöstedt de Luna; Rebecka Jörnsten; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genome; Next-generation sequence; statistics; microarrays; bacteria; antibiotic resistance; inherited diseases; Co-expression networks; centralization within subgroups;

    Abstract : Understanding how the genetic variations can affect characteristics and function of organisms can help researchers and medical doctors to detect genetic alterations that cause disease and reveal genes that causes antibiotic resistance. The opportunities and progress associated with such data come however with challenges related to statistical analysis. READ MORE
