  2. 16. Probalistic Methods In Genomic Data Analysis

    Author : Thomas Breslin; Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pathway profiling; Bioinformatics; medical informatics; biomathematics biometrics; Bioinformatik; medicinsk informatik; differential gene expression; probabilistic methods; Natural science; Naturvetenskap; biomatematik; annotation analysis; microarray; Fysicumarkivet A:2004:Breslin;

    Abstract : In this thesis, three aspects of gene expression data analysis are discussed: Differential gene expression is addressed by a probabilistic method. Gene annotation enrichment analysis is discussed in the context of multiple hypothesis testing and the choice of null hypothesis. READ MORE

  4. 17. Strategies for Miniaturized Biomarker Detection

    Author : Belinda Adler; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biomarker; miniturization; lab-on-a-chip; proteomics; PSA; microarray; mass spectrometry; MALDI MS; SPE; sample preparation; immunoaffinity; antibody; aptamer; mass tag; ISET.;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is development and application of different miniaturized strategies for detection of biomarkers. The biomarker PSA (prostate specific antigen), which is prostate cancer specific, has been the main focus of the thesis. READ MORE

  5. 18. Populus transcriptomics : from noise to biology

    Author : Andreas Sjödin; Stefan Jansson; Jan Lohmann; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Populus; microarray; transcriptomics; UPSC-BASE; leaf development; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

    Abstract : Mikromatriser handlar numera inte bara om att alstra genuttrycksdata i snabb takt, utan det är minst lika viktigt att effektivt ta hand om informationen efteråt. I den här avhandlingen presenteras ett arbetsflöde för att mäta, lagra och analysera genuttrycksdata i asp och poppel (Populus spp.). READ MORE

  6. 19. Functional and Molecular Characterization of BRCA1 and BRCA2 Associated Breast Cancer

    Author : Johan Vallon-Christersson; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; onkologi; cancer; Cytologi; cancerology; Cytology; BioArray Software Environment; BASE; Software; Open-source; Copy number; Gene expression; Microarray; BRCA2; BRCA1; Breast cancer; Hereditary cancer; oncology;

    Abstract : This doctoral dissertation is based on five appended papers primarily concerned with three main topics, namely: the functional characterization of specific and clinically relevant perturbations found in BRCA1 ? one of the major breast cancer susceptibility genes; the use of microarray technologies for molecular characterization of hereditary breast tumor samples from a genomic perspective; and finally, the development of software to address some of the logistical problems of data analysis and management that arise when utilizing microarrays. Results obtained from the work presented herein demonstrate the following: that transcription az says can aid in the characterization of C-terminal missense mutations but that it may not be possible to unambiguously characterize variants with a yeast-based assay alone; that a naturally occurring C-terminal germline mutation in BRCA1 encodes a protein with apparent temperature-dependant functional properties; that open-source software can provide comprehensive solutions to meet data management needs of microarray experimenters; that BRCA1 and BRCA2 associated breast tumors exhibit markedly different copy number aberrations when compared to each other as well as to sporadic tumors; and that gene expression profiling in BRCA1 and BRCA2 associated breast tumors reveals specific gene expression patterns.

  7. 20. Analysis of Nucleotide Variations in Non-human Primates

    Author : Ann-Charlotte Rönn; Ann-Christine Syvänen; Mats Nilsson; Phillip Morin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular genetics; SNP; genotyping; primate; chimpanzee; whole genome amplification; multiple displacement amplification; minisequencing; microarray; Y-chromosome; mitochondria; Genetik;

    Abstract : Many of our closest relatives, the primates, are endangered and could be extinct in a near future. To increase the knowledge of non-human primate genomes, and at the same time acquire information on our own genomic evolution, studies using high-throughput technologies are applied, which raises the demand for large amounts of high quality DNA.
