  2. 6. Methods for barcode analysis in optical DNA mapping

    Author : Albertas Dvirnas; Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; DNA Barcoding; Optical Mapping; Computational Biology;

    Abstract : This thesis is composed of six papers, which all concern different methods and tools used for the analysis of barcodes in nanochannel-based Optical DNA Mapping (ODM). The first four papers consider densely-labeled barcodes while the last two consider sparsely-labeled barcodes. READ MORE

  4. 7. Charting Insect Diversity

    Author : Dave Karlsson; Fredrik Ronquist; Torbjørn Ekrem; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; insect faunas; biological inventories; citizen science; DNA barcoding; morphotype barcoding; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

    Abstract : Background: Despite Sweden's rich legacy in entomology, a significant portion of its insect fauna remains poorly studied. Addressing this and other biodiversity knowledge gaps, the Swedish government unveiled the Swedish Taxonomy Initiative (STI) in 2002, with the ambitious goal of documenting and scientifically describing all multicellular species in the country.

  5. 8. Proximity Ligation and Barcoding Assays : Tools for analysis of proteins and protein complexes

    Author : Di Wu; Masood Kamali-Moghaddam; Ulf Landegren; Ola Söderberg; Jörg Hoheisel; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; proximity ligation assay; proximity barcoding assay; sensitive; in situ; multiplex; profiling; amyloid-beta; MARK; tau; CSF; biomarker; protein complexes; Alzheimer’s disease; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine;

    Abstract : Proteins are fundamental structural, enzymatic and regulatory components of cells. Analysis of proteins, such as by measuring their concentrations, characterizing their modifications, and detecting their interactions, provides insights in how biological systems work physiologically or pathologically at the molecular level.

  6. 9. Markets, mixtures and molecular methods : Investigating medicinal plant and edible orchid diversity in Tanzania and Zambia

    Author : Sarina Veldman; Hugo J. de Boer; Tinde R. van Andel; Barbara Gravendeel; Joseph N. Otieno; Julie Hawkins; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; DNA barcoding; Africa; Species delimitation; Orchids; Medicinal plants;

    Abstract : Medicinal plants are an important source of primary healthcare for many people in Tanzania. These medicinal plants are harvested from the wild, and increasing commercial trade poses a serious threat to local plant populations. Currently it is unknown which species are traded and in what amounts. READ MORE

  7. 10. Exploring the species boundaries in terrestrial clitellates (Annelida: Clitellata)

    Author : Svante Martinsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Oligochaeta; species delimitation; Clitellata; Annelida; DNA-barcoding; cryptic species; Enchytraeidae; Lumbricidae; Naididae;

    Abstract : The biological diversity in the soil is much higher than most people can imagine, and a very important group of animals living there are earthworms and other clitellate worms. It has been found that several clitellate morphospecies are in fact complexes of so called cryptic species, and the number of species in this group may be much higher than previously believed.
