  2. 1. Modeling of bacterial DNA patterns important in horizontal gene transfer using stochastic grammars

    Author : Mariana Buongermino Pereira; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stochastic context-free grammars; hidden Markov model; conditional random fields; integrons; attC sites; secondary structure.; secondary structure.;

    Abstract : DNA contains genes which carry the blueprints for all processes necessary to maintain life. In addition to genes, DNA also contains a wide range of functional patterns, which governs many of these processes. These functional patterns have typically a high variability, both within and between species, which makes them hard to detect. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mechanisms and DNA Specificity in Site-specific Recombination of Integron Cassettes

    Author : Carolina Johansson; Lars Sundström; Dan Andersson; Didier Mazel; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Microbiology; lateral gene transfer; site-specific recombination; tyrosine recombinase; integron; single-stranded; DNA hairpin; Mikrobiologi; farmaceutisk mikrobiologi; Pharmaceutical Microbiology;

    Abstract : Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has become a serious problem. This is due to the remarkable ability of bacteria to respond and rapidly adapt to environmental changes. Integrons are elements with the capacity for gene capture by an integron-encoded site-specific recombinase called IntI. READ MORE

  5. 3. Characterization of a site-specific gene-transfer mechanism in bacteria

    Author : Karin Hansson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical biosciences; Farmaceutisk biovetenskap; Biopharmacy; Biofarmaci; Pharmaceutical Microbiology; farmaceutisk mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : Integrons capture and rearrange single genes borne on mobile units called cassettes using site-specific recombination. The integrons increase the variation of antibiotic resistance among bacterial plasmids and may also reorganize clustered genes in bacterial genomes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Statistical modelling and analyses of DNA sequence data with applications to metagenomics

    Author : Mariana Buongermino Pereira; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; generalised hidden Markov models; gene abundance data; metagenomics; statistical modelling; bioinformatics; normalisation; DNA sequence data; bioinformatics;

    Abstract : Microorganisms are organised in complex communities and are ubiquitous in all ecosystems, including natural environments and inside the human gut. Metagenomics, which is the direct sequencing of DNA from a sample, enables studying the collective genomes of the organisms that are there present. READ MORE
