  2. 1. CTCF and Epigenetic Regulation of the H19/Igf2 Locus

    Author : Vinod Pant; Rolf Ohlsson; Rainer Reinkawitz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Imprinting; Chromatin; H19; Igf2; CTCF; Insulator; methylation; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi;

    Abstract : An overall coordination between the expressions of genes is required for the proper development of an individual. Although most genes are expressed from both the constituent alleles of the genome, a small subset of autosomal genes are preferentially expressed from only one of the parental alleles, a phenomenon known as genomic imprinting.

  4. 2. Functional characterization of the biological significance of the ZBED6/ZC3H11A locus in placental mammals

    Author : Shady Younis; Leif Andersson; Ola Hansson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ZBED6; IGF2; ZC3H11A; Muscle development; Transcriptome analysis; CRISPR Cas9; mRNA export; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics; Bioinformatik; Bioinformatics;

    Abstract : The recent advances in molecular and computational biology have made possible the study of complicated transcriptional regulatory networks that control a wide range of biological processes and phenotypic traits. In this thesis, several approaches were combined including next generation sequencing, gene expression profiling, chromatin and RNA immunoprecipitation, bioinformatics and genome editing methods in order to characterize the biological significance of the ZBED6 and ZC3H11A genes.

  5. 3. Animal genomics – gene discovery and gene characterization

    Author : Rakan Naboulsi; Leif Andersson; Mårten Larsson; Susanne Kerje; Tosso Leeb; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis; SAT; Hashimoto’s thyroiditis; HT; Obese strain; transcriptional regulation; ZBED6; Igf2; miRNA; miR483; Whole-genome sequencing; RNA-seq; miRNA-seq;

    Abstract : This thesis involves two projects. The aim in the first project was to identify genomic regions associated with spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis (SAT), which is a hereditary autoimmune disease that affects the obese strain (OS) of chicken, an animal model for human Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT).

  6. 4. Functional Studies of Genes Associated with Muscle Growth in Pigs and Hair Greying in Horses

    Author : Lin Jiang; Leif Andersson; Kerstin Lindblad-Toh; Gerli Pielberg; Christopher Tuggle; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; QTN; muscle development; IGF2; ZBED6; RNA-seq; ChIP-seq; myoblasts; pancreatic beta cells; Grey horse; melanoma; MITF; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär cellbiologi; Biology with specialization in Molecular Cell Biology;

    Abstract : Domestic animals have become very different from their wild ancestors during domestication and animal breeding. This provides a good model to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic variation. In my thesis I have studied genes affecting two important traits, leanness in pigs and hair greying-associated melanoma in horses. READ MORE

  7. 5. Epigenetic Regulation and Reprogramming of the H19 Imprinting Control Region

    Author : Piero Mariano; Rolf Ohlsson; Karl Ekwall; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : The development of a new individual from the fertilized oocyte can ultimately be seen as the consequence of the establishment and maintenance of specific patterns of gene expression. Although regulation of gene activity occurs at different levels, cellular specialization and differentiation are the results of developmental cues that essentially take place at the transcriptional level.
