  2. 1. The descent of damselflies and variation in relation to sex

    Author : Beatriz Willink Castro; Evolutionär ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sexual conflict; development; diversification; pleiotropy; correlational selection; damselfly;

    Abstract : Sexual conflict over mating shapes the interactions between males and females in many animals and is also responsible for dramatic adaptations in both sexes. In some species of pond damselflies (Odonata:Coeangrionidae), sexual conflict maintains discrete female-limited colour morphs over multiple generations and within populations. READ MORE

  5. 3. Advancing Metabolic Engineering through Combination of Systems Biology and Adaptive Evolution

    Author : Kuk-ki Hong; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; metabolic engineering; galactose utilization; systems biology; Ras PKA signaling pathway; evolutionary engineering; pleiotropy of evolutionary strategies;

    Abstract : Understanding evolutionary strategies of microorganisms may provide opportunities foradvanced strain development with the aim to produce valuable bio-products from renewablebiomass resources. Through evolutionary processes, microorganisms can attain new traitsassociated with genetic changes that may be useful for the construction of improved strains. READ MORE

  6. 4. Genetic association analysis of overlapping biological pathways in cardiovascular and Alzheimer disease

    Author : Hagit Katzov; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Genetic variation; association; ACE; ABCA1; Alzheimer disease; pleiotropy; cardiovascular disease;

    Abstract : To gain insight into the importance of the genome for diseases, sequencing and genotyping efforts aim to identify the consequences of genetic variation on both a functional and population level. The task involves the fine-resolution mapping of biologically significant genes and regions discerned by linkage analysis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Fibrinogen and susceptibility to myocardial infarction : role of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions

    Author : Maria Nastase Mannila; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Atherothrombosis; epistasis; fibrinogen; fibrinogen gamma; fibrin clot structure; haplotypes; myocardial infarction; pleiotropy; SNPs;

    Abstract : Fibrinogen, the precursor of fibrin, is a glycoprotein synthesized in the liver and maintained in plasma at concentrations normally ranging between 2-4 g/L. The fibrinogen molecule consists of two sets of three non-identical polypeptide chains, which are encoded by the fibrinogen gamma (FGG), fibrinogen alpha (FGA) and fibrinogen beta (FGB) genes clustered on chromosome 4.
