  1. 1. EVALUATING TRANSCRIPTOME ASSEMBLY POTENTIAL BY DIFFERENT DE NOVO SEQUENCE ASSEMBLER TYPES

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Luan Gardenalli; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : With the rise of NGS technologies, the transcriptomes of non-model organisms can be reconstructed even with the absence of a reference genome, using de novo assembly tools. There is a wide range of de novo assembly tools frequently being developed, however, there is a still a knowledge gap about the different effects and efficiency of different de novo assembly software types for RNA-seq assembly.

  3. 2. Freshwater bivalves with ecosystem engineering traits : The biodeposition rate of A. anatina and U. tumidus

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Gullstrand Tova; [2022]
    Keywords : Freshwater bivalves; biodeposition rate; A. anatina; U. tumidus; faeces; pseudofaeces; duck mussel; swollen river mussel; Sötvattensmusslor; biodepositionshastighet; A. anatina; U. tumidus; avföring; pseudoavföring; allmän dammussla; spetsig målarmussla;

    Abstract : Freshwater bivalves of the family Unionidae have filter-feeding traits that alter freshwater ecosystems on several trophic levels. Filtration of organic and inorganic particulates in the water column transform matter through the mussel’s egestion before it is sequestered in the sediment, making it available as food for benthic invertebrates.

  4. 3. Transcriptomic analysis on freshwater mussels for identification of potential biomarkers to monitor water ecosystems

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Md Mehedi Hasan Joyon; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Stress-specific expression of cellular proteins in responses to exogenous exposure and resulting physiological alteration provides important insight into the field of ecological research. Due to its habitat, feeding, lifestyle and physiologic properties, mussel has become an important indicative measure of aquatic environment pollution in order to assess effect of these pollution in aquatic life.

  5. 4. Sequencing the genomic DNA of Anodonta anatina using Oxford nanopore technology

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Saad Shikh Khaled; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Freshwater mussels are members of phylum Mollusca, which live in freshwater habitats such as lakes and rivers. Freshwater mussels are essential ecologically in the aquatic ecosystems, they have a high capacity for water purification and play a significant role in calcium recycling. READ MORE

  6. 5. Direct poly(A) RNA nanopore sequencing on the freshwater duck mussel Anodonta anatina following exposure to copper : A pilot study

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Erik Engström; [2019]
    Keywords : mussel; hepatopancreas; nanopore; sequencing; RNA; nucelotide; read;

    Abstract : Aquatic ecotoxicology is the study of toxic chemicals and its effects on aquatic biological systems with the aim of minimising threats to human health and ensure self-sustained ecosystems. Freshwater bivalves are excellent sentinels for use in ecotoxilogical research due to their filter feeding properties, stationary lifestyle and inability to regulate body temperature. READ MORE
