  1. 1. Detection of root borne pathogen causing pea root rot by using minion sequencing

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Aderemi Olubode; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is the most cultivated pulse in the temperate zone, economically important with high nutritional value (high protein content of 20-30%) and relatively low cost. Root rot is its predominant disease, it is referred to as root rot complex because it involves many pathogens. READ MORE

  3. 2. Understanding sequence errors in analysis of short tandem repeats through optimisation of a library preparation protocol utilising unique molecular indices

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Nelly Gyllö Lind; [2022]
    Keywords : polymerase chain reaction; massively parallel sequencing; DNA analysis; short tandem repeats; DNA polymerase; unique molecular indices;

    Abstract : In the last few years massively parallel sequencing (MPS) has become important for forensic DNA analysis by providing new and broader possibilities, such as increased discrimination power for short tandem repeat (STR) analyses. An imperative part of MPS analysis is library preparation where there is a fundamental reliability on in vitro DNA polymerisation, which is prone to errors. READ MORE

  4. 3. Pollen identification using sequencing techniques

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Bimaljeet Kaur; [2022]
    Keywords : pollen; rbcL gene; barcoding; metabarcoding; Sanger sequencing; MinION sequencing;

    Abstract : Palynology or the study of pollen, is essential understand the relationship between plants and their pollinators. Traditionally, pollen grains are identified by microscopy. The method has several shortcomings, such as being time-consuming and having low taxonomic resolution. READ MORE

  5. 4. A Cosmic View of Life on Earth : Visualizing the relationship between species DNA in a threedimensional space

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Medie- och Informationsteknik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Emma Segolsson; Linn Storesund; [2022]
    Keywords : visualization; DNA; openspace; primates; barcodes; PCA;

    Abstract : This master thesis project is interdisciplinary between the fields of biology, visualization, and astrophysics. The project was conducted at the American Museum of Natural History in New York in collaboration with researchers from Basel, Switzerland. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of a DNA barcode for species identification of tuna

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Clara Nordquist; Jonathan Edwall; Leonora Eriksson; Nelly Mäkinen; Minna Sayehban; Matilda Styfberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Thunnini; D-loop; mitochondrial control region; CR; 16S; ATP8; COII; Cox2; CytB; COI; Cox1; ND2; NADH dehydrogenase 2;

    Abstract : Today, DNA-barcoding with the gene COI is regularly used in the identification of fish. However, this is not an adequate way of identifying species of tuna due to COI lacking sufficient interspecies divergence. This is problematic since fraud and mislabeling are a major concern within the fish and tuna industries. READ MORE
