  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. 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

  4. 3. Characterization of MITF gene in crayfish and their possible role in innate immunity

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

    Author : Yaru Wen; [2020]
    Keywords : Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor; basic Helix-Loop-Helix Leucine Zipper; crayfish; Aphanomyces astaci; immunity;

    Abstract : Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is a tissue-specific transcription factor (TF), with a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (bHLH-LZ) domain, which binds to the canonical E-box sequence (5’-CANNTG-3’) in the promoter region of target genes. In this study, the MITF-like protein was identified in the marbled crayfish (Procambarus virginalis). READ MORE

  5. 4. An in vitro model for studying gene expression in Parascaris univalens larvae

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

    Author : Sofia Jonsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Parascaris univalens; equine roundworm; Parascaris; Parascaris univalens larvae; anthelmintic resistance; drug metabolism; gene expression; in vitro model; ivermectin.;

    Abstract : Parascaris univalens, equine roundworm, is a large nematode infecting young horses and causes respiratory syndromes, impaired condition and reduced growth. Adults can reach up to 50 cm in length and heavy infection can lead to obstruction and rupture of the small intestines due to the worm’s size. READ MORE

  6. 5. Mekanismer för resistens mot makrocykliska laktoner

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

    Author : Johan Sjöstedt; [2017]
    Keywords : Resistens; makrocykliska laktoner; Caenorhabditis elegans; Haemonchus contortus; Cooperia oncophora; Resistance; macrocyclic lactones;

    Abstract : Makrocykliska laktoner (ML) är ett viktig anthelmintika som används mycket. Den utbredda användningen har lett till att nematoder har utvecklat läkemedelsresistens. För att bekämpa det måste nya metoder tas fram för att hitta genetiska markörer som på ett tidigt stadie kan identifiera resistenta nematoder. READ MORE
