  2. 1. Genomic and transcriptomic investigation of reproductive incompatibility in Drosophila

    Author : Guilherme Costa Baião; Lisa Klasson; Alistair Darby; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Wolbachia; Drosophila; Drosophila paulistorum; Differential Gene Expression; Reproductive Incompatibility; Reproductive Isolation; Comparative Genomics; Transcriptomics; RNA-Seq; Heteroplasmy; Mitochondria; Genomic conflict; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Abstract : Both nuclear and cytoplasmic elements can contribute to the emergence of reproductive incompatibilities that influence evolution and speciation. In the projects that compose this thesis, we use genomics and transcriptomics to study some of those elements in Drosophila. READ MORE

  4. 2. Genome Evolution and Niche Differentiation of Bacterial Endosymbionts

    Author : Kirsten Maren Ellegaard; Siv Andersson; Andrés Moya; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; niche; habitat; endosymbiont; gut microbiome; honey bee; Wolbachia; comparative; genomics;

    Abstract : Most animals contain chronic microbial infections that inflict no harm on their hosts. Recently, the gut microflora of humans and other animals have been characterized. However, little is known about the forces that shape the diversity of these bacterial communities. READ MORE

  5. 3. Genome Evolution in Maternally Inherited Insect Endosymbionts

    Author : Lisa Klasson; Siv Andersson; Jonas Sandström; George Weinstock; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Symbiosis is a widely common phenomenon in nature and has undoubtedly contributed to the evolution of all organisms on earth. Symbiotic associations can be of varying character, such as parasitic or mutualistic, but all imply a close relationship. READ MORE
