  2. 1. Development and Application of Human Chromosome 22 Genomic Microarray : Chromosome 22-Associated Disorders Analyzed by Array-Based Comparative Genomic Hybridization

    Author : Magdalena Benetkiewicz; Jan Dumanski; Niklas Dahl; Frank Speleman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular genetics; DNA copy number changes; chromosome 22; genomic microarray; array-CGH; schwannoma; neurofibromatosis type 2; ovarian carcinoma; breast cancer; Wilms tumor; Genetik; Genetics; Genetik;

    Abstract : The array-based form of comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) is a new methodology that has shown to be of significant importance. This thesis focuses on the development of array-CGH with the aim to define candidate regions/genes on chromosome 22 in a wide spectrum of cancer-related conditions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Thioredoxins and gene regulation in the Drosophila germline

    Author : Malin J. Svensson; Jan Larsson; David Roberts; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Drosophila; thioredoxin; sex-specific; Pof; chromosome 4; gene regulation; kromosom 4; genreglering; Drosophila; thioredoxin; könsspecifik; Pof; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Spermatogenesen är i många organismer en av de mest dramatiska förvandlingar som en cell kan genomgå – en vanlig, rund, diploid cell omvandlas till en nålformad, haploid cell med ett tätt packat cellmaskineri. I bananfluga, Drosophila melanogaster, innebär denna process flera karaktäristiska stadier. READ MORE

  5. 3. Avian Genome Evolution - Gene Expression, Gene Divergence and Sexual Dimorphism

    Author : Sara Naurin; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sex chromosome; avian genome evolution; gene expression; sexual dimorphism; Z chromosome;

    Abstract : This study has focused on: (i) differences in how males and females use the genes in the genome, (ii) how sex chromosomes evolve and (iii) how the evolutionary rate of genes are affected by the chromosome on which they are located on and the gene expression level they experience. A large-scale microarray was developed for the zebra finch, Taeniopygia guttata and techniques were developed so that this microarray could also be used for wild passerine birds. READ MORE

  6. 4. Identification and Characterization of Novel Candidate Oncogenes

    Author : Marina Mencinger; Avdelningen för klinisk genetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk genetik; Clinical genetics; RBP56; APRIL; TFG; FUS; EWS; EST database; fusion genes; chromosome; molecular genetics; cancer; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi;

    Abstract : Using computer-assisted sequence homology searches we identified three genes encoding proteins similar to certain fusion partner proteins in cancer. The novel APRIL gene was localized to 15q25 and encodes a protein, containing an acidic amino-acid region similar to that/those of leukemia-associated fusion partner proteins DEK and SET. READ MORE

  7. 5. Turner syndrome. Relation between genotype and phenotype and long-term follow-up studies

    Author : Mohamed Mostafa El-Mansoury; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Turner syndrome; chromosome; cardiovascular disease; body balance; fracture; hearing; hypothyroidism; liver;

    Abstract : Turner syndrome (TS) is a chromosomal disorder with a prevalence of approximately 1/2 500 live female births. There is complete or partial absence of one of the two sex chromosomes, resulting in a genetic constellation of 45,X monosomy or 45,X/46,XX mosaic, respectively. READ MORE
