  2. 1. Strategies for de novo DNA sequencing

    Author : Anna Blomstergren; KTH; []
    Keywords : DNA sequencing; DNA purification; automation; solid-phase; streptavidin; biotin; modular probes; Helicobacter pylori; cag PAI;

    Abstract : The development of improved sequencing technologies hasenabled the field of genomics to evolve. Handling andsequencing of large numbers of samples require an increasedlevel of automation in order to obtain high throughput andconsistent quality. READ MORE

  4. 2. Diversity and persistence of Helicobacter pylori

    Author : Annelie Lundin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Helicobacter pylori; genomic diversity; cag pathogenicity island; Nudix hydrolase;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori is an exceptionally diverse bacterial species, and every infected individual harbors a unique strain, apart from the strain concordance found in some families. The infection is usually acquired during childhood and once established, persists for life unless treated with antibiotics. READ MORE

  7. 5. Helicobacter pylori : cellular interactions and pathogenesis

    Author : Britta Björkholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori colonizes the stomachs of about half of die world's population. It inevitably causes an inflammatory response in all its hosts, but in a subset of individuals the infection leads to severe gastric diseases such as peptic ulcers, gastric cancer or MALT lymphoma.
