  2. 1. Probabilistic Reconciliation Analysis for Genes and Pseudogenes

    Author : Owais Mahmudi; Jens Lagergren; Cedric Chauve; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phylogenetics; Evolution; Reconciliation Analysis; Bayesian Inference; Datalogi; Computer Science;

    Abstract : Phylogeneticists have studied the evolution of life from single celled organisms to the astonishing biodiversity around us for a long time now. The relationship between species is often expressed as a binary tree - the tree of life. READ MORE

  4. 2. Identification and characterisation of the novel mammalian gene family Elovl

    Author : Abolfazl Asadi; Leif Andersson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; zoofysiologi; Zoological physiology;

    Abstract : Comparative analysis is one of the foremost tools in biology. The most common comparative method is sequence alignment, which can be performed in many ways. By using any sort of alignments, competing sequences are evaluated by scoring schemes for estimating similarity. READ MORE

  5. 3. Studies on Redox-proteins and Cytokines in inflammation and Cancer

    Author : Akter Hossain; Anders Rosén; Christer Lindqvist; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Thioredoxin Trx ; Selenium; Tumor necrosis factor TNF ; Cancer; nflammation; oxidative stress; Protein-disulfide isomerase PDI ; Tumor necrosis factor receptor TNFR ; Medical cell biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The redox state in the cell plays a major role in determining vital functions and its major imbalance can lead to severe cell injury or death. Redox active proteins and cytokines involved in this process includes thioredoxin (Trx), protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamilies. READ MORE

  6. 4. Evolutionary genomics of symbiotic fungi

    Author : Balaji Rajashekar; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein family; Symbiosis; Paxillus involutus; Laccaria bicolor; Hydrophobin; Fungi; Ectomycorrhizae; Evolution; Comparative Genomics; Basidiomycetes;

    Abstract : Ectomycorrhizae is a mutualistic association between roots of woody plants and a diverse range of soil fungi. The fungi exchange soil derived mineral nutrients for photosynthetic sugars from the host plant. The mycorrhizal symbioses are commonly found in all forest ecosystems and have a major ecological and economical importance. READ MORE

  7. 5. Bioinformatic protein family characterisation

    Author : Joel Hedlund; Bengt Persson; Jaap Heringa; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Biological research is necessary; not only to further our understanding of the processes of life, but also to combat disease, hunger and environmental damage.Bioinformatics is the science of handling biological information. It entails integrating, structuring and analysing the ever-increasing amounts of available biological data. READ MORE
