  2. 16. Deciphering control of Mechano-Transcription Activators of σ54-RNA polymerase

    Author : Henrik Seibt; Victoria Shingler; Uwe H. Sauer; Ray Dixon; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transcriptional regulation; P. putida; V. cholerae; AAA ; bEBP; B-linker; DmpR; Phenol catabolism; VCA0117; Type VI secretion; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : To survive and proliferate, bacteria have to respond to a plethora of fluctuating signals within their habitats. Transcriptional control is one crucial entry point for such signal-responsive adaption responses. READ MORE

  4. 17. Experimental Evolution : and Fitness Effects of Mutations

    Author : Anna Knöppel; Dan I Andersson; Stanley Maloy; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Experimental evolution; Fitness effects; mutations; S20; fis; ribosome; horizontal gene transfer; adaptation; synonymous mutations; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Bacteria have small, streamlined genomes and evolve rapidly. Their large population sizes allow selection to be the main driver of evolution. With advances in sequencing technologies and precise methods for genetic engineering, many bacteria are excellent models for studying elementary questions in evolutionary biology. READ MORE

  5. 18. Carbon metabolism in non-conventional yeasts: biodiversity, origins of aerobic fermentation and industrial applications

    Author : Nerve Zhou; Molekylär cellbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aerobic fermentation; carbon metabolism; non-conventional yeasts; strain development;

    Abstract : Abstract: For millennia, the “yeast” Saccharomyces cerevisiae remains by far the most extensively studied and exploited yeast in food and industrial applications. A number of researches and developments have been done since the establishment of the biochemical function of yeast by Louis Pasteur in 1860, however modern lifestyles often connected to food related health trends demand new and innovative food products.

  6. 19. Molecular Genetic Studies of ALSG, Kostmann Syndrome and a Novel Chromosome 10 Inversion

    Author : Miriam Entesarian; Niklas Dahl; Niels Tommerup; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Clinical Genetics; klinisk genetik;

    Abstract : In summary, this thesis presents the localisation and identification of genetic variants of which some are disease associated and some considered to be neutral. Knowledge of the basic mechanisms behind human disorders is important both from a biological and medical point of view. READ MORE

  7. 20. Statistical assessment of genomic variability in tumours and bacterial communities

    Author : Anna Rehammar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; somatic mutations; hierarchical Bayesian modelling; cancer genetics; high-throughput sequencing; metagenomics; personalised diagnostics;

    Abstract : Current high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies have the ability to generate large amounts of high-resolution genomic data. The high dimensionality in combination with the substantial levels of technical errors and biological variability typically present in the data make, however, the analysis challenging. READ MORE
