1. 6. A Single-Nucleus RNA Sequencing Analysis of HERVs and LINE1s in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

   Author : Stein Acker; [2022]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that make up roughly 50% of the human genome, with retrotransposons (or transposons which retrotranspose via an RNA intermediate) making up the vast majority of these elements. Recent studies have suggested that TEs could play a role in many neurological conditions, including ALS and dementia. READ MORE

3. 7. Exploring Swedish Oat (Avena sativa) Genetic History - from AD 1440 to today

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Amanda Raud Westberg; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Oats (Avena sativa) have been one of the most important cereals in Swedish crop history, completely dominating domestic cereal production in the 19th and early 20th centuries. During this time, oats were mainly used as horse feed and since then, production has decreased with decreased use of horses. READ MORE

4. 8. Development of a Neutron Activation Analysis station at the Lund Ion Beam Analysis Facility

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

5. 9. Ancient DNA in paleosols, SW Greenland : A tool for retrospective paleoenvironmental studies?

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Kimmo Kumpula; [2018]
   Keywords : Ancient DNA; paleosol; paleoenvironment; Greenland; Arctic;

   Abstract : Ancient DNA (aDNA) is a useful tool for retrospective paleoenvironmental studies. Paleosols formed in Arctic environments constitute a potential archive of aDNA from terrestrial organisms living in past environments, given that the cold and dry climate prevailing at high latitudes favors DNA preservation and hamper post-depositional mobility of deposited fragments.

6. 10. DNA Analysis on a Viking-age boat grave from Sala hytta Västmanland, grave A2

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Arkeologiska forskningslaboratoriet

   Author : Loey Alrawi; [2017]
   Keywords : aDNA; Viking-age; migration; Västmanland; Sala hytta;

   Abstract : Viking-age boat grave burials are a less common but still repeatedly used way to bury the dead during the late Iron Age. Boat burials are exceptional in many aspects, not only due to placing the individual in a boat with numerous burial gifts including animals, but also by burying the individual without prior cremation, a common practice during the Iron Age.
