  1. 1. Developing a reproducible bioinformatics workflow for canine inherited retinal disease

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Melina Toni Marie Martin; [2023]
    Keywords : CanFam4; Nextflow; Inherited Retinal Degeneration; dog; whole-genome sequencing; bioinformatics;

    Abstract : Inherited Retinal Degenerations (IRDs) are a heterogenous group of diseases which lead to vision impairment and can be found both in humans and in dogs. About 1 in 1,380 humans is estimated to suffer from an autosomal recessive IRD, which would be 5.5 million people worldwide, and many more are estimated to be unaffected carriers. READ MORE

  3. 2. Factors Affecting How Well Bacterial Whole Genome Sequencing Reads Assemble

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Mustafa Linda; [2021]
    Keywords : WGS; NGS; Illumina; C; jejuni; SPAdes; FastQC; MultiQC; BWA; Kraken Krona; Trimmomatic;

    Abstract : Recently Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) has become the new high-resolution tool used to trace the source of foodborne outbreaks. There are often only a few genetic differences that can distinguish closely related bacterial isolates, and variability in data quality between different laboratories may influence the results.

  4. 3. Improving performance of BWA alignment of short sequences with coroutines

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : David Jonsson; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : For the Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA), previous experimentation has shown that alignment of short sequences (reads) can benefit fromincreased instruction level parallelism (ILP) using hyperthreading.This thesis investigates and demonstrates that one can increase the performance of short read alignemnt with BWA without hyperthreading enabled, by employing coroutines in order to increase ILP.

  5. 4. Evaluating the Performance of a New Aligner for Ultra-Short Ancient DNA

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Homa Amini; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Recent technological developments, such as high-throughput sequencing, have enabled the sequencing of the genomes of many living organisms. Recently, it has also become possible to extract and sequence DNA from extinct organisms. READ MORE

  6. 5. PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF MULTIPLE ANTENNA TECHNIQUES IN WiMAX

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Sektionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Yousaf Ali Shah; [2010]
    Keywords : WiMAX; Capacity Analysis; STBC; MIMO; SFBC;

    Abstract : The modern wireless systems are required to have high voice quality and data rate. Since our concern is most with cattering environment, antenna diversity is a practically effective and widely applied technique to reduce the effect of multipath fading. READ MORE
