  2. 1. Software Tools and Algorithms for Shotgun Sequence Assembly

    Author : Martti T. Tammi; Bruce Roe; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Shotgun sequencing; multiple alignment; fragment assembly; repeats; sequencing error; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Medical Genetics; medicinsk genetik;

    Abstract : During the last ten years, a genomics revolution has changed the ways biological research is carried out. The draft sequence of the human genome is available, as well as the sequence of 84 other completed genomes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Intrinsic disorder and tandem repeats - match made in evolution : Computational studies of molecular evolution

    Author : Oxana Lundström; Arne Elofsson; Liberles-Siltberg Jessica; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein evolution; intrinsically disordered proteins IDPs ; tandem repeats; short tandem repeats STRs ; genetic variation; orphan proteins; GC content; human STR variation; colorectal cancer; gene expression; biokemi med inriktning mot bioinformatik; Biochemistry towards Bioinformatics;

    Abstract : Proteins are both the building blocks and workers of the cell, carrying out most of the important functions. For a long time, their structure has been regarded as the primary factor for their function, but intrinsically disordered proteins demonstrate an alternative to this paradigm. READ MORE

  5. 3. A Genetic Survey of the Pathogenic Parasite Trypanosoma cruzi

    Author : Anh-Nhi Tran; Lena Åslund; John Kelly; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular genetics; Trypanosoma cruzi; Chagas ; gene discovery; EST; sequencing; DGC3; repeats; gene family; CL Brener; trypanothione synthetase; TcTRS locus; alleles; polymorphism; RNA-binding protein; TcPTB; stage-specific expression; Genetik; Genetics; Genetik; medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

    Abstract : Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas´ disease, is an evolutionarily ancient species with distinct biological and immunological characteristics. A fundamental understanding of the basic biology of the parasite is necessary in order to develop reliable therapeutic and prophylactic agents against T. cruzi. We have, as a part of the T.

  6. 4. On diverse biophysical aspects of genetics : from the action of regulators to the characterization of transcripts

    Author : Aymeric Fouquier D´Hérouel; Erik Aurell; Felix Ritort; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; transcription regulation; regulatory motifs; binding affinity; genetic interactions; secondary structure; sequence repeats; transcript characterization; Biological physics; Biologisk fysik;

    Abstract : Genetics is among the most rewarding fields of biology for the theoretically inclined, offering both room and need for modeling approaches in the light of an abundance of experimental data of different kinds. Many aspects of the field are today understood in terms of physical and chemical models, joined by information theoretical descriptions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Retroviral long Terminal Repeats; Structure, Detection and Phylogeny

    Author : Farid Benachenhou; Jonas Blomberg; Göran Sperber; Aris Katzourakis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Retrovirus; long terminal repeats; hidden Markov models; phylogeny; alignment; conserved motif; stem-loop; Clinical virology; Klinisk virologi; Klinisk virologi; Clinical Virology;

    Abstract : Long terminal repeats (LTRs) are non-coding repeats flanking the protein-coding genes of LTR retrotransposons. The variability of LTRs poses a challenge in studying them. Hidden Markov models (HMMs), probabilistic models widely used in pattern recognition, are useful in dealing with this variability. READ MORE
