  2. 1. Mitochondrial Evolution : Turning Bugs into Features

    Author : Olof Karlberg; Siv Andersson; Michael Gray; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : The bacterial origin of mitochondria from an ancient endosymbiosis is now widely accepted and the mitochondrial ancestor is generally believed to belong to the bacterial subdivision α-proteobacteria. The high fraction of mitochondrial proteins encoded in the nucleus has commonly been explained with a massive transfer of genes from the genome of the ancestral mitochondrion. READ MORE

  4. 2. Expanding the Chlamydiae tree : Insights into genome diversity and evolution

    Author : Jennah E. Dharamshi; Thijs J. G. Ettema; Alexander Probst; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PVC superphylum; Chlamydiae; chlamydia; intracellular; symbiosis; endosymbiont; pathogen; marine sediment; sponge microbiome; metagenomics; uncultured microbial diversity; phylogenomics; microbial evolution; eukaryote evolution; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Abstract : Chlamydiae is a phylum of obligate intracellular bacteria. They have a conserved lifecycle and infect eukaryotic hosts, ranging from animals to amoeba. Chlamydiae includes pathogens, and is well-studied from a medical perspective. READ MORE

  5. 3. Multi-omics investigation into bacterial evolution

    Author : Karl Dyrhage; Siv Andersson; Dan I. Andersson; Jay Hinton; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bioinformatics; bacterial evolution; cellular complexity; comparative genomics; transcriptomics; proteomics; fructophilic lactic acid bacteria; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Abstract : The focus of this thesis is the investigation of the evolution and cellular processes of Tuwongella immobilis and Apilactobacillus kunkeei, two bacterial species with different levels of genomic and cellular complexity, using a multi-omics approach.In the first study we examined the proteome of T.

  6. 4. Genome evolution of a bee-associated bacterium

    Author : Andrea García-Montaner; Siv Andersson; Matthias Horn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bacterial evolution; Genomics; Symbiosis; Honeybees; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Abstract : The use of large-scale comparative genomics allows us to explore the genetic diversity and mechanisms of evolution of related organisms. This thesis has focused on the application of such approaches to study Lactobacillus kunkeei, a bacterial inhabitant of the honeybee gut.We produced 102 novel complete genomes from L. READ MORE

  7. 5. Evolution of Vertebrate Endocrine and Neuronal Gene Families : Focus on Pituitary and Retina

    Author : Daniel Ocampo Daza; Dan Larhammar; Marc Robinson-Rechavi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : phylogenetics; evolution; molecular evolution; gene family evolution; genome duplication; gene duplication; oxytocin receptor; vasopressin receptor; visual opsin; transducin; growth hormone; prolactin; somatolactin; growth hormone receptor; prolactin receptor; somatostatin receptor; SSTR; IGFBP; evolution; molekylär evolution; fylogeni;

    Abstract : The duplication of genes followed by selection is perhaps the most prominent way in which molecular biological systems gain multiplicity, diversity and functional complexity in evolution. Whole genome duplications (WGDs) therefore have the potential of generating an extraordinary amount of evolutionary innovation. READ MORE
