1. Characterization of MITF gene in crayfish and their possible role in innate immunity
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is a tissue-specific transcription factor (TF), with a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (bHLH-LZ) domain, which binds to the canonical E-box sequence (5’-CANNTG-3’) in the promoter region of target genes. In this study, the MITF-like protein was identified in the marbled crayfish (Procambarus virginalis). READ MORE

2. Systematic comparison of the relative accuracy of vegetation surveys and soil DNA metabarcoding : Assessing plant biodiversity at different spatial scales
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : Analysis of soil-derived DNA has been shown to minimize problems seen during traditional vegetation surveys, e.g. by matching the eDNA to a reference database for taxonomic identification rather than relying solely on taxonomic expertise. However, it has been debated to what extent and how accurately eDNA acts as a proxy for biodiversity. READ MORE

3. Automated Intro Detection ForTV Series
University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystemAbstract : Media consumption has shown a tremendous increase in recent years, and with this increase, new audience expectations are put on the features offered by media-streaming services. One of these expectations is the ability to skip redundant content, which most probably is not of interest to the user. READ MORE

4. Characterization of DNA binding of the two zinc finger domains of transcription factor zBED6
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : The zinc finger protein, zBED6, is a transcriptional regulator of IGF2 along with hundreds of other genes relating to development and growth. Studies on the growth of commercially bred pigs discovered a single nucleotide substitution in the third intron of IGF2 which disrupts the binding of zBED6 and is responsible for the three-fold upregulation of IGF2 in skeletal muscle.

5. The Impact of Abiotic Stress on Alternative Splicing in Lipid Transfer Protein in Marchantia polymorpha
University essay from Linköpings universitet/BiologiAbstract : All plants have a protection against the surrounding environment called a cuticle coating. When this cuticle coating is constructed it is believed that the family of protein called lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) is involved. The LTPs are small and cysteine rich. In Marchantia polymorpha the groups of LTPs called LTPd and LTPg can be found. READ MORE
