  1. 1. Investigating the expression and function of RNA-binding protein FUBL-1 in C. elegans

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Védís Mist Eyju Agnadóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : RNA interference (RNAi) is an important mechanism of gene silencing in Caenorhabditis elegans, in which short RNAs direct sequence-specific silencing of gene expression mediated by Argonaute proteins. RNAi in C. READ MORE

  3. 2. Can Feeding Amyloid Fibrils Trigger Amyloid Formation in C. Elegans?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Katarina Norrby; [2023]
    Keywords : Amyloid; AA amyloid; Amyloidosis; AA amyloidosis; C. Elegans;

    Abstract : Amyloidosis are diseases caused by misfolded proteins that have transformed into extracellular insoluble amyloid fibrils. One type of amyloidosis is AA amyloidosis caused by AA amyloid and diseases connected are Rheumatoid arthritis and Tuberculosis. C. Elegans is a nematode used as a model organism and in this experiment. READ MORE

  4. 3. Differential expression and function of fubl-1 gene isoforms in C. elegans

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Molekylärbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Mikrobiologi och immunologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Joel Pålsson; [2022]
    Keywords : isoform; gene expression; C elegans; protein; alternative splicing; isoformer; genuttryck; C elegans; protein; alternativ splicing;

    Abstract : Alternative splicing is the process of producing a variety of transcripts from one and the same gene. This adds further possible variability to gene expression and can in theory mean that one protein coding gene can produce multiple proteins with potentially different functions. READ MORE

  6. 5. Challenges in a changing climate : The effect of temperature variation on growth and competition in damselflies

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Kim Lea Holzmann; [2022]
    Keywords : ecology; climate change; thermal variation; competition; cannibalism; damselfly;

    Abstract : Climate change is affecting biodiversity on multiple levels all over the world. Concomitant with a higher mean temperature, an increased amplitude of temperature variation is predicted. READ MORE
