  2. 16. Modeling Genome Evolution : Creation, Change and Destruction

    Author : Mats Pettersson; Otto Berg; Paul Sniegowski; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular biology; Theotretical biology; Population genetics; Stochastic modeling; Genome evolution; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Historically, evolution has been studied either by looking at morphological traits in living organisms and the fossil record, or by using bioinformatics and comparative genomics. While highly useful for deducing evolutionary history, these approaches are not particularly well suited for studying the mechanisms of evolution. READ MORE

  4. 17. Lifestyle and Genome Evolution in Vector-Borne Bacteria : A Comparison of Three Bartonella Species

    Author : Anna Carolin Frank; Siv Andersson; Stewart Cole; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Bartonella; evolution; host-restriction; vector-borne; horizontal gene transfer; genome reduction; alpha-proteobacteria; Type-IV secretion; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Bacterial genomes provide records of the molecular processes associated with emergence and evolution of different bacterial lifestyles. This thesis is based on whole-genome comparisons within the genus Bartonella, an excellent model system for studies of host- and vector-specificity and infection outcome in animal-associated bacteria.

  5. 18. Urban Evolution

    Author : Claes Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : In nature, objects formed from a dynamics on one level often form yet new objects and new dynamics on a new level. This process generates a hierarchical organization of nature that is particularly tall for objects that are of biological or human origin. READ MORE

  6. 19. Genome evolution of a bee-associated bacterium

    Author : Andrea García-Montaner; Siv Andersson; Matthias Horn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bacterial evolution; Genomics; Symbiosis; Honeybees; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Abstract : The use of large-scale comparative genomics allows us to explore the genetic diversity and mechanisms of evolution of related organisms. This thesis has focused on the application of such approaches to study Lactobacillus kunkeei, a bacterial inhabitant of the honeybee gut.We produced 102 novel complete genomes from L. READ MORE

  7. 20. The Purpose of Evolution : the 'struggle for existence' in the Russian-Jewish press 1860-1900

    Author : Joakim Philipson; Per-Arne Bodin; David Gaunt; Gabriella Safran; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Darwinism; evolution; struggle for existence; reception; Jews; Russia; discourse analysis; isomorphism; integration; slaviska språk; Slavic Languages;

    Abstract : In late 19th century Russia, Darwinism was viewed as a measuring-rod of modernity. Thus, the Jewish reception of Darwinism may serve as an indicator of the extent to which the Jews in Russia were part of the modernization of Russian society. READ MORE
