1. 1. Pseudomonas aeruginosa gene expression analysis using pangenome and PAO1 reference genomes

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

   Author : Yi Su; [2023]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Development in sequencing technologies has made the analyses of genetic material much more accessible. Processing sequenced data for an accurate analysis comes with its challenges, especially with the studies in microbial in clinical in vivo samples where difficulties in the collection of these samples for sequencing could lower the quality and contamination from the human host which might affect the accuracy of downstream analysis.

3. 2. Bacillus anthracis : naturliga utbrott, bioattacker och veterinärens roll

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

   Author : Olivia Nordfeldt; [2017]
   Keywords : Bacillus anthracis; antrax; biovapen; biologiska krigföring; bioterrorism;

   Abstract : Biologisk krigföring är inte ett nytt begrepp, tvärtom har forskare hittat mängder av exempel på sådana attacker redan från medeltiden, och ännu längre bakåt i tiden. Framväxten av den moderna mikrobiologin på 1900-talet, startade dock ett helt nytt kapitel och det var plötsligt möjligt att uppföröka stora mängder patogener. READ MORE

4. 3. Automation of a solid-phase proximity ligation assay for biodefense applications
