    University essay from SLU/Dept. of People and Society

    Author : Fredrik Persson; [2021]
    Keywords : genetically modified organisms; GM Food; perception; horticulture; food security; nutrition; behavior; psychology;

    Abstract : Genetically modified food within the horticulture sector is strictly regulated in the European Union today. In a future where the question of whether to adopt biotechnology, regarding genetically modified or gene-edited horticultural products, the perception of such technology is of importance. READ MORE

  3. 2. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis and therapy in humans- Opportunities and risks

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Rickard Hedberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Preimplantation genetic diagnosis; CRISPR-Cas systems; gene editing; germline; genome; ethics; autonomy; beneficence; risks.;

    Abstract : IntroductionPreimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) was developed in the 1990s and has been used since to diagnose and discard embryos with genetic conditions or chromosomal abnormalities. CRISPR-Cas9 was discovered in 2012 and has been used in research, but has not become clinical practice on humans yet. READ MORE

  4. 3. Biofortification of Cassava

    Keywords : Canonical correlation analysis; Atherosclerosis; bioinformatics; CRISPR_Cas9; Phenotypes; Genotypes; GWAS; zebrafish; Cardiovascular and metabolic disease;

    Abstract : Genome-wide associations studies (GWASs) have identified hundreds of loci that are strongly associated with coronary artery disease and its risk factors. However, the causal variants and genes remain unknown for the vast majority of the identified loci. READ MORE

  6. 5. A platform for Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell genome engineering

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Jiten Doshi; [2016]
    Keywords : Chinese hamster; lentivirus; RMCE;

    Abstract : The production of therapeutic recombinant proteins in heterologous systems has gained significance since the last decade. For recombinant proteins that require post-translational modifications (PTMs), mammalian systems are preferred. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are the mammalian cells of choice for production of recombinant proteins. READ MORE
