  2. 6. Regulation of gene expression in fruit flies : how does it start, and will it be remembered?

    Author : Aman Zare; Per Stenberg; Yuri B. Schwartz; Åsa Rasmuson-Lestander; Guillaume Filion; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Drosophila; epigenetics; transcription; gene regulation; transcription maintenance; CBP; polymerase pausing; Polycomb group proteins; transgenerational inheritance of transcriptional response; gut microbiome; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : One of the most distinctive features of eukaryotic chromosomes is the bundling of DNA together with functionally associated RNA and proteins in chromatin. This allows huge amounts of DNA to be packed inside the very tiny space of the nucleus, and alterations in the structure of chromatin enable access to the DNA for transcription (“reading” genes by production of RNA copies).

  4. 7. Statistical analysis of gene expression data

    Author : Erik Kristiansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gene expression; DNA microarrays; linear models; empirical Bayes; quality control; gene regulation; categorical data analysis; logistic regression; heavy metal stress; ecotoxicology; gene expression;

    Abstract : Microarray technology has become one of the most important tools for genome-wide mRNA measurements. The technique has been successfully applied to many areas in modern biology including cancer research, identification of drug targets, and categorization of genes involved in the cell cycle.

  5. 8. RNA-based mechanisms of chromatin and gene regulation

    Author : Jordi Planells Rodrigo; Neus Visa; Simon Elsässer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gene regulation; chromatin; non-coding RNAs; genome-wide studies; Drosophila melanogaster; ADAR3; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : Cells regulate gene expression in a particular spatio-temporal manner by executing specific transcriptional programs. The different transcriptional programs allow the generation of the different cell types in multicellular organisms and mediate particular cellular responses to external cues such as viral infections.

  6. 9. Gene regulation by different proteins of TGFβ superfamily

    Author : Varun Maturi; Aristidis Moustakas; Anita Göndör; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; EMT; Snail1; ZEB1; TGFβ; BMP; Gene regulation;

    Abstract : The present thesis discusses how gene regulation by transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family cytokines is affected by post-translational modifications of different transcription factors. The thesis also focuses on gene regulation by transcription factors involved in TGFβ signaling. READ MORE

  7. 10. Regulation of gene expression in the vascular wall

    Author : Erik Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : smooth muscle; endothelium; angiogenesis; SRF; myocardin; LPP; gene regulation; genetics; microRNA;

    Abstract : Blood vessel growth and function are closely related to a number of pathological conditions, including tumor angiogenesis, wound healing and atherosclerosis. Smooth muscle cells (SMC) and endothelial cells (EC), the two major constituents of the vascular wall, are both characterized by the expression of unique phenotypic marker genes, many of which have vital roles in blood vessel development and disease.
