  2. 1. Functional association networks for disease gene prediction

    Author : Dimitri Guala; Erik L L Sonnhammer; Hjalmar Brismar; Yves Moreau; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; network biology; biological networks; network prediction; functional association; functional coupling; network integration; functional association networks; genome-wide association networks; gene networks; protein networks; fret; functional enrichment analysis; network cross-talk; pathway annotation; gene prioritisation; network-based gene prioritization; benchmarking; Biochemistry towards Bioinformatics; biokemi med inriktning mot bioinformatik;

    Abstract : Mapping of the human genome has been instrumental in understanding diseasescaused by changes in single genes. However, disease mechanisms involvingmultiple genes have proven to be much more elusive. Their complexityemerges from interactions of intracellular molecules and makes them immuneto the traditional reductionist approach. READ MORE

  4. 2. Global functional association network inference and crosstalk analysis for pathway annotation

    Author : Christoph Ogris; Erik Sonnhammer; Alfonso Valencia; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biological networks; genome wide functional association networks; global gene association networks; gene networks; protein networks; functional association; functional coupling; network biology pathway analysis; pathway annotation; pathway enrichment; network-based enrichment; enrichment; Biochemistry towards Bioinformatics; biokemi med inriktning mot bioinformatik;

    Abstract : Cell functions are steered by complex interactions of gene products, like forming a temporary or stable complex, altering gene expression or catalyzing a reaction. Mapping these interactions is the key in understanding biological processes and therefore is the focus of numerous experiments and studies. READ MORE

  5. 3. Function and Evolution of Small Regulatory RNAs and their Associated Proteins : A Journey from Genome to Proteome

    Author : Bart Edelbroek; Fredrik Söderbom; Jonathan R. Chubb; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microRNAs; non-coding RNAs; Evolution; Whole Genome Sequencing; Transcriptomics; Proteomics; small RNAseq; Amoebozoa; Multicellular development; Social amoebae; Comparative genomics; Genome annotation; Biologi med inriktning mot mikrobiologi; Biology with specialization in Microbiology;

    Abstract : Organisms throughout the tree of life have evolved distinct ways to regulate gene expression. Some of these processes involve non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which are not translated but functional nonetheless. These ncRNAs are of utmost importance, with dysregulation of some causing severe developmental effects or even being lethal. READ MORE

  6. 4. Annotating and making use of the Avena sativa cv. Sang reference genome

    Author : Nikos Tsardakas Renhuldt; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; oats; Avena sativa; genomics; genome annotation; gene mapping; mapping-by-sequencing; brassinosteroids; Fusarium; genetic markers; GFViz; GSK3; UGT; cereals; epicuticular wax; plant genomics; marker visualization; AsGSK2.1; AsCer-q;

    Abstract : Oats is an important cereal used for both food and feed. The topic of this thesis is the annotation of the genome of oat (Avena sativa) cv. Sang, as well as some of the things this genome and its annotation have been used for. READ MORE

  7. 5. Understanding Cancer Mutations by Genome Editing

    Author : Muhammad Akhtar Ali; Tobias Associate Professor; Thierry Soussi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genome editing; rAAV; ZBED6; DIP2C; KRAS; BRAF; colorectal cancer; tumor driver genes; cancer pathways;

    Abstract : Mutational analyses of cancer genomes have identified novel candidate cancer genes with hitherto unknown function in cancer. To enable phenotyping of mutations in such genes, we have developed a scalable technology for gene knock-in and knock-out in human somatic cells based on recombination-mediated construct generation and a computational tool to design gene targeting constructs.
