  2. 16. Microbiota of the alimentary tract of children - implications for allergy and inflammatory bowel disease

    Author : Fei Sjöberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gut flora; child; oral flora; allergy; duodenum; inflammatory bowel disease; culture; T-RFLP; pyrosequencing;

    Abstract : Allergy, which is the most common chronic disease in Swedish children and adolescents, is associated with a high standard of living and Western lifestyle. According to the hygiene hypothesis, allergy is due to inadequate stimulation of the immune system by microbes during early childhood, leading to failed maturation of the immune system. READ MORE

  4. 17. Archaeological Genetics - Approaching Human History through DNA Analysis

    Author : Evangelia Daskalaki; Anders Götherström; Mattias Jakobsson; Walther Parson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ancient DNA; pyrosequencing; molecular genetics; aDNA; neolithization; evolutionary genetics; mtDNA; viking age; archaeological genetics; genetik; evolutionsgenetik; naturvetenskap; neolitisering; vikingatid; arkeologisk genetik; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Abstract : There are a variety of archaeological questions, which are difficult to assess by traditional archaeological methods. Similarly, there are genetic and population genetic questions about human evolution and migration that are difficult to assess by studying modern day genetic variation. READ MORE

  5. 18. Evaluation of New Technologies for Forensic DNA Analysis

    Author : Anna-Maria Divne; Marie Allen; Joakim Lundeberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; STR; SNP; SIDS; mtDNA; HVI HVII SSOP linear array; minisequencing; tag arrays; Pyrosequencing; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik;

    Abstract : DNA samples from crime scenes or mass disasters are often limited and degraded which limits the possibility of successful traditional STR analysis. Moreover, there is a need to decrease the turnaround time in criminal investigations. READ MORE

  6. 19. Bacteria and geochemistry in a former uranium open pit mine - mobilization of trace metals

    Author : Frida Edberg; Sara J. M. Holmström; Hans Borg; Stephan M. Kraemer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : Pseudomonas fluorescens; siderophore; Ranstad; alum shale; iron; pyrosequencing; redox; size fractionation; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : In mining areas around the world, chemical and biotic processes have lead to the release of toxic substances, e.g. metals. Microbial processes influence metal speciation, while the chemical environment shapes and controls microbial populations. READ MORE

  7. 20. Sensitive Identification Tools in Forensic DNA Analysis

    Author : Hanna Edlund; Marie Allen; Niels Morling; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : forensic genetics; STRs; Y-chromosome; Pyrosequencing; mitochondrial DNA; skeletal remains; DNA extraction; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

    Abstract : DNA as forensic evidence is valuable in criminal investigations. Implementation of new, sensitive and fast technologies is an important part of forensic genetic research. This thesis aims to evaluate new sensitive methods to apply in forensic DNA analysis including analysis of old skeletal remains. READ MORE
