  4. 7. Parallel target selection by trinucleotide threading

    Author : Pawel Zajac; Joakim Lundeberg; Afshin Ahmadian; Mats Nilsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; trinucleotide threading; multiplex amplification; expression profiling; microarray; generic tag; short tandem repeat; microsatellite; electrophoresis; single nucleotide polymorphism; allelotyping; 454; Pyrosequencing; Genetic engineering including functional genomics; Genteknik inkl. funktionsgenomik;

    Abstract : DNA is the code for all life. Via intermediary RNA the information encoded by the genome is relayed to proteins executing the various functions in a cell. Together, this repertoire of inherently linked biological macromolecules determines all characteristics and features of a cell. READ MORE

    Author : Emilie Hultin; Joakim Lundeberg; Afshin Ahmadian; Marie Allen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Genotyping; single nucleotide polymorphism SNP ; protease-mediated allele-specific extension PrASE ; microarray; tag-array; competitive hybridization; human papillomavirus HPV ; single cell; loss of alleles; differentiation; epidermis.; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : Developments within the field of genetic analysis have during the last decade become enormous. Advances in DNA sequencing technology have increased throughput from a thousand bases to over a billion bases in a day and decreased the cost thousandfold per base. READ MORE

  6. 9. Molecular Signatures of Cancer

    Author : Esther Edlundh-Rose; Joakim Lundeberg; Peter Södervist; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; : BRAF; NRAS; MGMT; methylation; pyrosequencing; microarray technology; gene expression analysis; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Cancer is an important public health concern in the western world, responsible for around 25% of all deaths. Although improvements have been made in the diagnosis of cancer, treatment of disseminated disease is inefficient, highlighting the need for new and improved methods of diagnosis and therapy.

  7. 10. Archaeological Genetics - Approaching Human History through DNA Analysis

    Author : Evangelia Daskalaki; Anders Götherström; Mattias Jakobsson; Walther Parson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ancient DNA; pyrosequencing; molecular genetics; aDNA; neolithization; evolutionary genetics; mtDNA; viking age; archaeological genetics; genetik; evolutionsgenetik; naturvetenskap; neolitisering; vikingatid; arkeologisk genetik; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Abstract : There are a variety of archaeological questions, which are difficult to assess by traditional archaeological methods. Similarly, there are genetic and population genetic questions about human evolution and migration that are difficult to assess by studying modern day genetic variation. READ MORE
