  2. 1. A functional genomic investigation of an alternative life history strategy : The Alba polymorphism in Colias croceus

    Author : Alyssa Woronik; Christopher Wheat; Antonia Monteiro; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; alternative life history strategy; butterfly wing color; Alba; Colias; color polymorphism; dimorphism; life history traits; physiology; lipidomics; genomics; pooled sequencing; phylogenomics; RNA-Seq; Pool-Seq; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

    Abstract : Life history traits affect the timing and pattern of maturation, reproduction, and survival during an organism’s lifecycle and are the major components influencing Darwinian fitness. Co-evolved patterns of these traits are known as life history strategies (LHS) and variation occurs between individuals, populations, and species. READ MORE

  4. 2. Understanding evolutionary novelty through female-limited polymorphisms

    Author : Kalle Tunström; Christopher W. Wheat; Rhonda R. Snook; Patrícia Beldade; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

    Abstract : Understanding how novel traits evolve is a central question in evolutionary biology. However, unraveling the complex genetic and developmental mechanisms underlying trait innovation can be challenging, especially when the trait evolved a long time ago. READ MORE

  5. 3. Design, selection and production of recombinant proteins for prevention of infectious diseases

    Author : Marianne Hansson; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The development of subunit vaccines is presently one of themain strategies for the generation of new vaccines againstinfectious diseases. The use of recombinant DNA techniques hasfacilitated the develoment of new strategies for constructionand production of subunit vaccines. READ MORE

  6. 4. Affibody ligands in immunotechnology applications

    Author : Jenny Rönnmark; KTH; []
    Keywords : phage display; combinatorial; affinity; IgA ligand; immunohistochemistry; affibody-fusions;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the development and use ofnon-immunoglobulin affinity proteins denoted affibodies asalternatives to antibodies in different immunotechnologyapplications. A 58 aa IgG Fc binding three-helix bundle domainZ, derived from staphylococcal protein A has been used asframework for library constructions, in which the face of themolecule involved in the native binding activity has beenengineered by combinatorial protein engineering.
