  2. 1. Biomolecular Analysis by Dual-Tag Microarrays and Single Molecule Amplification

    Author : Olle Ericsson; Ulf Landegren; Mats Nilsson; Edwin Southern; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular medicine; Microarray; proximity ligation; Padlock probe; Rolling circle amplification; Splicing; single molecule; Molekylärmedicin;

    Abstract : Padlock probes and proximity ligation are two powerful molecular tools for detection of nucleic acids and proteins, respectively. Both methods result in the formation of DNA reporter molecules upon recognition of specific target molecules. READ MORE

  4. 2. Accessing Genetic Variation by Microarray Technology

    Author : Katarina Lindroos; Edwin Southern; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; microarrays; SNPs; minisequencing; four-colour detection; allele frequency; population study; evolutionary biology; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine;

    Abstract : Microarray technology is a promising approach for the simultaneous analysis of multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which are the most abundant form of genetic variation. In this thesis enzyme-assisted microarray-based methods were developed to improve the accuracy and genotype discrimination power of the current methods for SNP genotyping. READ MORE

  5. 3. Environmental history in southern Mozambique : Reconstruction of flooding events, hydroclimate and sea-level dynamics since mid-Holocene

    Author : Sandra Raúl Sitoe; Jan Risberg; Elin Norström; Lars-Ove Westerberg; John Compton; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Southern Africa; Limpopo River floodplain; flooding event; sea-level change; climate change; diatoms; phytoliths; mineral magnetics; grain-size; radiocarbon dating; kvartärgeologi; Quaternary Geology;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis has been to reconstruct paleoenvironment, paleohydrology and paleoclimate in coastal southern Mozambique, with emphasis on tracing past flooding events on the lower Limpopo River floodplain. In order to extend flood chronologies beyond periods covered by instrumental data, sediments from lakes on the floodplain were studied (Lake Lungué, Coassane Oxbow, Lake Magandane and Lake Soane).

  6. 4. Mesoproterozoic crustal evolution in Southern Africa

    Author : Åsa Pettersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Namaqua-Natal province; Mezoproterozoic; geochronology; U-Pb zirkon dating; Sm-Nd model ages; Ar-Ar dating; Southern Africa;

    Abstract : The objects of this thesis were to use geochronology to investigate crustal evolution of part of Southern Africa that formed during a global event, resulting in the ~1 Ga supercontinent Rodinia. The timing of assembly by continent-continent collisions and the position of the individual continental blocks of this ancient landmass is still largely unknown. READ MORE

  7. 5. Of Imagined and Potential Futures : Speculative Fiction in Southern Africa, 2008-2018

    Author : Joanna Woods; Stefan Helgesson; Marina Kohnen Ludwigs; Adnan Mahmutović; Madhu Krishnan; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Southern Africa; contemporary literature; speculative fiction; short stories; digital; rhetorical studies; narratology; literary field; English; engelska;

    Abstract : This research project explores the rhetorical function of contemporary Anglophone speculative fiction (sf) in southern Africa. Focusing on short fiction produced between 2008 and 2018, the project delineates this literary production both theoretically and historically. READ MORE
