  2. 1. Studies of histone modification systems in schizosaccharomyces pombe

    Author : Carolina Bonilla; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : The genetic information in every cell is carried in the DNA. In eukaryotes the DNA is wrapped twice around proteins called histones forming a repeating unit called the nucleosome, in fibers known as chromatin. Nucleosomes are folded into higher order structures forming the chromosomes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Histone modification regulated bysuppressor of Zeste 12 and Ipl1 : Aurora-like kinase in Drosophila

    Author : Anna Larsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : molekylär bioteknik inst f molekylärbiologi ; molecular biotechnology dept of molecular biology ;

    Abstract : Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are a group of genome wide silencers that are crucial for many processes during the development. In Drosophila PcG proteins are organised into four different complexes: PRC1, PRC2, PhoRC and PR-DUB. PRC2 consists of four core proteins: Su(z)12, E(z), Esc and Nurf. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Nucleosome as a Signal Carrying Unit : From Experimental Data to Combinatorial Models of Transcriptional Control

    Abstract : The human genome consists of over 3 billion nucleotides and would be around 2 meters long if uncoiled and laid out. Each human somatic cell contains all this in their nucleus which is only around 5 µm across. This extreme compaction is largely achieved by wrapping the DNA around a histone octamer, the nucleosome.

    Abstract : Breast tumours harbour a large amount of genetic and epigenetic alterations, which are associated with e.g. tumour aggressiveness, prognosis, and response to therapy. READ MORE

  7. 5. A Bioinformatics Study of Human Transcriptional Regulation

    Abstract : Regulation of transcription is a central mechanism in all living cells that now can be investigated with high-throughput technologies. Data produced from such experiments give new insights to how transcription factors (TFs) coordinate the gene transcription and thereby regulate the amounts of proteins produced. READ MORE
