  2. 1. Approaches for analysis of mutations and genetic variations

    Author : Afshin Ahmadian; KTH; []
    Keywords : LOH; microsatellite; fragment analysis; DNA sequencing; pyrosequencing; cancer; mutation; variation; SNP; allele-specific extension; apyrase; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Detecting mutations and genomic variations is fundamental indiagnosis, isolating disease genes, association studies,functional genomics and pharmacogenomics. The objective hasbeen to use and further develop a variety of tools andtechnologies to analyze these genetic alterations andvariations. READ MORE

  4. 2. Genetic Variation and Migration of Waders

    Author : Liv Wennerberg; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mtDNA sequencing; microsatellite analysis; Dunlin; Calidris alpina; Curlew Sandpiper; Calidris ferruginea; White-rumped Sandpiper; Calidris fuscicollis; carbon isotope ratios; Zoologi; Zoology; Ecology; bird migration; population genetics; Ekologi; Animal ecology; Djurekologi;

    Abstract : The migratory behaviour of birds has received much scientific interest, though many questions still remain unsolved. One of the reasons for this is the difficulty of following the birds as they move between breeding and wintering localities. Populations may mix on migration and the origin of individual birds is difficult to assess. READ MORE

  5. 3. Disentangling small genetic differences in large Atlantic herring populations: comparing genetic markers and statistical power

    Author : Lena C. Larsson; Linda Laikre; Nils Ryman; Lorenz Hauser; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; conservation genetics; marine fish; spatial and temporal genetic variation; molecular marker comparison; allozyme; microsatellite; selection; fisheries management; Biology; Biologi; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

    Abstract : Genes are the foundation of evolution and biodiversity. The genetic structure of natural populations needs to be understood to maintain exploited resources rationally. This thesis focuses on genetic variability and methods to determine spatial and temporal genetic heterogeneities. READ MORE

  6. 4. Genome Variation in Human Populations : Exploring the Effects of Demographic History and the Potential for Mapping of Complex Traits

    Author : Åsa Johansson; Ulf Gyllensten; Marta Alarcon; Andrew Clark; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Genetics; genetics; evolution; microsatellie; SNP; selection; linkage disequilibrium; haplotype; Genetik;

    Abstract : A major challenge in human genetics is to understand the genetic variation underlying common diseases. In this thesis, I focus on forces creating differences between individuals and genomic regions, methods for characterizing genomic variation, and the association between genomic and phenotypic variation.

  7. 5. Bioinformatic Analysis of Mutation and Selection in the Vertebrate Non-coding Genome

    Author : Mikael Brandström; Hans Ellegren; Diethard Tautz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Biology; non-coding genome; selection; mutation; chicken; human; indel; microsatellite; sequence alignment; comparative genomics; bioinformatics; vertebrate; Biologi;

    Abstract : The majority of the vertebrate genome sequence is not coding for proteins. In recent years, the evolution of this noncoding fraction of the genome has gained interest. These studies have been greatly facilitated by the availability of full genome sequences. READ MORE
