  1. 21. Developing a Method to Study the Impact of Microbial DNA on the Brain Related to Alzheimer’s Disease – Can Food Make a Change?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Fuh-Tzu Yang; [2022]
    Keywords : DNA extraction; Microbiome DNA enrichment; Host DNA depletion; 16S rRNA sequencing; Alzheimer’s disease; Gut-brain axis; Microbiota; Microbial DNA; Black currant; Applied Nutrition and Food Chemistry; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Understanding the gut-brain-microbiota axis can help us provide a new tool to manage conditions such as Alzheimer’s. However, a major challenge is selectively amplifying the bacterial DNA which is present at a much lower level than the host DNA. READ MORE

  3. 22. Comparison of preconditions for tooth sample collection and compositional change over time

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för odontologi

    Author : Sara Azadian; Lovisa Persson; [2022]
    Keywords : Dental plaque; bacteria; composition;

    Abstract : Background The mouth can be colonized by many bacterial species that are associated with both health and disease. Bacteria analyses are an important part of diagnosing and treating dental diseases, but there is no consensus regarding which sampling method to use for these analyses. READ MORE

  4. 23. Analysing Non-Desired Output Data from High Throughput Sequencers for the Identification of the Source of Contamination

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Mayra Guadalupe Martinez Maldonado; [2022]
    Keywords : high-throughput sequencing; metagenomics; MGI; contamination; molecular barcode; högkapacitetssekvensering; metagenomik; MGI; kontaminering; DNA-streckkod;

    Abstract : High-throughput Sequencing (HTS)-tekniker fortsätter att utvecklas snabbt, vilket ökar genomströmningen och minskar sannolikheten för fel. MGI Tech Co., Ltd. (MGI) är ett ledande HTS-varumärke som använder DNBSEQ-teknologi och finns i Center for Translational Microbiome (CTMR). READ MORE

  5. 24. Dental calculus metagenomics suggest that ecology, rather than host phylogeny, shapes the oral microbiome in closely related gorilla species

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Markella Moraitou; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The oral microbiome can reveal a diverse range of information about its host: dietary habits, oral and respiratory health state and evolutionary past, all influence its composition. Nonetheless, little is known about the relative importance of these factors in shaping the oral microbiome. READ MORE

  6. 25. The effect of imperfect resource conversion and recurring perturbations on byproduct cross- feeding chains in digital communities

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Filippa Frejborg; [2021]
    Keywords : byproduct cross-feeding; cross-feeding interactions; digital evolution; digital organisms; gut microbiome; recurring perturbations; resource conversion;

    Abstract : The gut microbiome plays a vital role in human health. Disturbances of this microbial system is associated with diseases such as obesity and inflammatory bowel disease. In populations of microbial species, many organisms partake in byproduct cross-feeding interactions, where byproducts from one organism are consumed by other microbes. READ MORE
