  2. 1. Molecular and structural studies of proteins required for mitochondrial DNA maintenance

    Author : Carlos Pardo-Hernandez; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mtDNA; LONP1; POLγ; mtDNA maintenance; mitochondrial disease; TWINKLE; mitochondria;

    Abstract : Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles that produce the majority of ATP used to drive metabolic processes in eukaryotic cells. A unique feature of mitochondria is the existence of a separate mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which codes for thirteen proteins needed for oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). READ MORE

  4. 2. Conservation Genetics of the White-Tailed Eagle

    Author : Frank Hailer; Hans Ellegren; Carles Vilà; Rob C Fleischer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Biology; Haliaeetus albicilla; microsatellites; mtDNA; molecular sexing; population structure; bottleneck; phylogeography; raptors; Biologi;

    Abstract : The white-tailed eagle is a formerly threatened raptor that is commonly used as a flagship and indicator species in conservation work. This thesis uses molecular genetic methods to study sex determination of nestlings, genetic variability, population structure and phylogeography of the white-tailed eagle. READ MORE

  5. 3. Regulation of Human Mitochondrial DNA Replication and Transcription

    Author : Majda Mehmedovic; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mitochondria; mtDNA; replication; transcription; TFAM;

    Abstract : Mitochondria are organelles in eukaryotic cells, which through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) produce most of the ATP used to drive cellular processes. The organelle contains its own genetic material, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which encodes 13 key components of the OXPHOS machinery. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular Profiling of the Population Dynamics : Foundation and Expansion of an Archaic Domesticate

    Author : Arman Ardalan; Peter Savolainen; Love Dalén; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dog; wolf; dingo; mtDNA; NRY; SNP; Madagascar; Australia; domestication;

    Abstract : "An ‘exponential growth of science’ throughout modern history has been frequently boasted by numerous narcissistic accounts of ‘modern humanity.’ Nonetheless, ‘modern science’ seems to have overwhelmingly compromised on its original promises by fitting into an ‘industrial scheme.

  7. 5. People of the Dolmens and Stone Cists : An archaeogenetic Investigation of Megalithic Graves from the Neolithic Period on Gotland

    Author : Magdalena Fraser; Kjel Knutsson; Mattias Jakobsson; Paul Wallin; Anders Götherström; Per Åke Persson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; archaeology; aDNA; ancient genomics; archaeogenetics; mtDNA; osteology; radiocarbon dating; Strontium; Carbon; Nitrogen; TRB; PWC; BAC; CWC; dolmen; stone cist; population demography; diet; mobility; cultural duality; admixture; kinship; Neolithic period; Early Bronze Age; Europe; Baltic Sea area; Scandinavia; Gotland; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : The study of ancient genomics of pre-historic human remains has in recent years offered unprecedented knowledge regarding pre-historic migration and population structure on the European continent which has fundamentally altered the current views in the archaeological community. However, the merging of the two fields, archaeology and genetics, is still in its infancy and much work is still needed in order for these fields to integrate. READ MORE
