2. 1. Sex, Molecules, and Gene control : Ecophysiological and evolutionary aspects of key sponge species from Antarctic shallow waters and the deep sea

   Author : Vasiliki Koutsouveli; Paco Cárdenas; Anders Backlund; Ana Riesgo; Cassandra G. Extavour; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Porifera; Demospongiae; Geodia spp.; Phakellia ventilabrum; reproduction; gametogenesis; Antarctica; deep sea; sponge grounds; histology; molecular machinery; electron microscopy; RNA-seq; proteomics; lipidomics; Farmakognosi; Pharmacognosy;

   Abstract : Very little is known about the ecophysiological aspects of Porifera (sponges) from Antarctica and North Atlantic, even though they are keystone components of these habitats. Being the earliest diverging metazoan lineage, sponges also play a fundamental role in our understanding of animal evolution. READ MORE

4. 2. Evolution of the G protein-coupled receptor signaling system : Genomic and phylogenetic analyses

   Author : Arunkumar Krishnan; Helgi Schiöth; Torgeir Hvidsten; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; GPCRs; G proteins; Sensory system; Signal transduction; Olfaction; Chemosensation; Hemichordates; Sponges; Porifera; Bilaterians; Holozoans; Fungi; Opisthokonts; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

   Abstract : Signal transduction pathways mediated by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and their intracellular coupling partners, the heterotrimeric G proteins, are crucial for several physiological functions in eukaryotes, including humans. This thesis describes a broad genomic survey and extensive comparative phylogenetic analysis of GPCR and G protein families from a wide selection of eukaryotes. READ MORE

5. 3. In Murky waters : Swedish demosponges and their genealogies

   Author : Raquel Pereira; Mikael Thollesson; Hanna Johannesson; Dirk Erpenbeck; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Porifera; Swedish sponge fauna; Spongilla lacutsris; population structure; Suberites; Suberitida; Syringella; Systematics; Biology with specialization in Systematics; Biologi med inriktning mot systematik;

   Abstract : Swedish Sponge fauna last updated happened over 80’s years ago. This fact explains, partially, the country’s low sponge. READ MORE

6. 4. Mine the Gaps : Evolution of Eukaryotic Protein Indels and their Application for Testing Deep Phylogeny

   Author : Pravech Ajawatanawong; Sandra Baldauf; James McInerney; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; indel; insertion deletion; protein evolution; bioinformatics; non-bilateria; eukaryotes; phylogeny; Biology with specialization in Systematics; Biologi med inriktning mot systematik; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

   Abstract : Insertions/deletions (indels) are potentially powerful evolutionary markers, but little is known about their evolution and few tools exist to effectively study them. To address this, I developed SeqFIRE, a tool for automated identification and extraction of indels from protein multiple sequence alignments. READ MORE
