  2. 1. Studies of Genome Diversity in Bartonella Populations : A journey through cats, mice, men and lice

    Author : Hillevi Lina Lindroos; Siv G. E. Andersson; Richard Birtles; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Biology; Bartonella; genome content; genome rearrangement; gene expression; phage; microarray; PFGE; MLST; Biologi;

    Abstract : Bacteria of the genus Bartonella inhabit the red blood cells of many mammals, including humans, and are transmitted by blood-sucking arthropod vectors. Different species of Bartonella are associated with different mammalian host species, to which they have adapted and normally do not cause any symptoms. READ MORE

  4. 2. Genome Evolution and Host Adaptation in Bartonella

    Author : Eva Caroline Berglund; Siv GE Andersson; Brendan Wren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bartonella; genome evolution; genome diversity; phage; gene transfer agent; secretion system; microarray; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Evolutionary Genetics; evolutionär genetik;

    Abstract : Bacteria of the genus Bartonella infect the red blood cells of a wide range of wild and domestic mammals and are transmitted between hosts by blood-sucking insects. Although most Bartonella infections are asymptomatic, the genus contains several human pathogens. READ MORE

  5. 3. Expanding the Chlamydiae tree : Insights into genome diversity and evolution

    Author : Jennah E. Dharamshi; Thijs J. G. Ettema; Alexander Probst; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PVC superphylum; Chlamydiae; chlamydia; intracellular; symbiosis; endosymbiont; pathogen; marine sediment; sponge microbiome; metagenomics; uncultured microbial diversity; phylogenomics; microbial evolution; eukaryote evolution; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Abstract : Chlamydiae is a phylum of obligate intracellular bacteria. They have a conserved lifecycle and infect eukaryotic hosts, ranging from animals to amoeba. Chlamydiae includes pathogens, and is well-studied from a medical perspective. READ MORE

  6. 4. Comparative genomics of the genus Mycobacterium : Genome evolution, phylogeny and diversity

    Author : Phani Rama Krishna Behra; Leif Kirsebom; Bengt Persson; Mikael Rhen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mycobacterial genomes; core gene phylogeny; tRNA and non-coding RNA; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : The genus Mycobacterium includes more than 190 species, and many cause severe diseases such as tuberculosis and leprosy. According to the "World Health Organization", in year 2019 alone, 10 million people developed TB, and 1.4 million died. READ MORE

  7. 5. Exploring genetic diversity in natural and domestic populations through next generation sequencing

    Author : Nima Rafati; Leif Andersson; Carl-Johan Rubin; Alvaro Martinez Bario; Craig Primmer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecological adaptation; seasonal reproduction; Atlantic herring; domestication; speciation; rabbit; skeletal atavism; Shetland ponies; NGS; SMRT sequencing; genome; transcriptome; assembly; structural variation; genetic diversity; HCE; TSHR; SHOX; CRLF2;

    Abstract : Studying genetic diversity in natural and domestic populations is of major importance in evolutionary biology. The recent advent of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has dramatically changed the scope of these studies, enabling researchers to study genetic diversity in a whole-genome context.
