    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Tiscar Graells Fernandez; [2023]
    Keywords : bioinformatics; microbiome; gut; subclinical coronary atherosclerosis;

    Abstract : Background: The human gut microbiota is the complex microbial community that lives in our gut. The gut microbiota has a key role in health and disease and its disruption has been linked to several chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. READ MORE

  3. 7. Exploring the genetic cause of myotonic dystrophy in horses

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Thomas Simon; [2023]
    Keywords : genetics; bioinformatics; myotonic dystrophy; horses; variant analysis;

    Abstract : Myotonic Dystrophy (MD) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder that leads to a wide range of clinical signs including stiffness, abnormal muscle relaxation, and muscle atrophy or hypertrophy. Affected muscles develop a prolonged contracture in response to percussion of the muscle and show waxing and waning complex repetitive discharges in electromyography (EMG). READ MORE

  4. 8. An assessment of the surrogate host metagenome-assembled genome decontamination for non-model host organisms : Proof-of-concept

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : André Bourbonnais; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this study, a novel method has been assessed to bridge the gap between bioinformatics and ecological conservation efforts to gain evidence to further base conservational plans on. Herein, the validity of using a provisional host metagenome-assembled metagenome to decontaminate the data from host contamination was concluded. READ MORE

  6. 10. Computational prediction of cell-cell interactions in the brain-tumour microenvironment

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Paula Camargo Romera; [2023]
    Keywords : Cancer; Glioblastoma; Computational Biology; Bioinformatics; Microenvironment; Brain tumour; Interactions; Systems Biology;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma is the fastest-growing, and the most common malignant brain tumour in adults. It is normally treated with surgery and radio- or chemotherapy, but the approximate life expectancy is of 15 months with a high probability of cancer recurring. Therefore, there is a need for decreasing its severity. READ MORE
