  2. 1. On the Origins of mobile Antibiotic Resistance Genes : A comparative genomics approach

    Author : Stefan Ebmeyer; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; antibiotic resistance; comparative genomics; bacterial genomics; antibiotic resistance genes;

    Abstract : Mobile antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), transferable between bacterial cells, are major contributors to the antibiotic resistance crisis we are facing today. From which organisms pathogens acquired these genes is mostly unknown, yet knowledge about their origin is needed in order to limit the emergence and spread of novel ARGs in the future. READ MORE

  4. 2. Multi-omics investigation into bacterial evolution

    Author : Karl Dyrhage; Siv Andersson; Dan I. Andersson; Jay Hinton; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bioinformatics; bacterial evolution; cellular complexity; comparative genomics; transcriptomics; proteomics; fructophilic lactic acid bacteria; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Abstract : The focus of this thesis is the investigation of the evolution and cellular processes of Tuwongella immobilis and Apilactobacillus kunkeei, two bacterial species with different levels of genomic and cellular complexity, using a multi-omics approach.In the first study we examined the proteome of T.

  5. 3. Gall induction in gall wasps (Cynipidae s. lat.) : Insights from comparative genomics

    Author : Erik Gobbo; Fredrik Ronquist; Scott Egan; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gall induction; comparative genomics; evolution; selection analysis; microbiome; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

    Abstract : Cynipidae are a family of wasps (Hymenoptera), whose larval stages develop inside plant galls, that is, abnormal plant structures formed in response to the presence of foreign organisms. Most cynipids are gall inducers and are often capable of notable levels of host manipulation. READ MORE

  6. 4. 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

  7. 5. Genome evolution of a bee-associated bacterium

    Author : Andrea García-Montaner; Siv Andersson; Matthias Horn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bacterial evolution; Genomics; Symbiosis; Honeybees; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Abstract : The use of large-scale comparative genomics allows us to explore the genetic diversity and mechanisms of evolution of related organisms. This thesis has focused on the application of such approaches to study Lactobacillus kunkeei, a bacterial inhabitant of the honeybee gut.We produced 102 novel complete genomes from L. READ MORE
