  5. 3. The evolution of sex chromosomes and sex-linked sequences in birds

    Author : Homa Papoli Yazdi; Hans Professor; Bengt Hansson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sex chromosomes; female heterogamety; recombination suppression; genetic map; inversions; genetic diversity; pseudoautosomal region; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Abstract : Identifying the processes involved in the evolution of suppressed recombination between sex chromosomes and understanding their consequences for the evolutionary dynamics of sex-linked loci have been major topics of research during the last century. In this thesis, I used the avian ZW system, where females are the heterogametic sex, to investigate the underlying processes in sex chromosome evolution in birds. READ MORE

  6. 4. Pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes -role of defects in insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity

    Abstract : To examine cardiovascular risk factors, glycaemic control and survival in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated in primary care, patients with T2DM and a randomised age-stratified sample of men and women aged ≥40 years living in the same community were surveyed 1992-1994. ß–Cell function and insulin resistance were estimated using the Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA).
