  1. 16. Evaluation of Temporal Convolutional Networks for Nanopore DNA Sequencing

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Jakob Stymne; Oliver Welin Odeback; [2020]
    Keywords : Nanopore Sequencing; DNA Sequencing; DeepLearning; Temporal Convolutional Network;

    Abstract : Nanopore sequencing, a recently developed methodfor DNA sequencing, involves applying a constant electricfield over a membrane and translocating single-stranded DNAmolecules through membrane pores. This results in an electricalsignal, which is dependent on the structure of the DNA. READ MORE

  3. 17. Markov chain Monte Carlo for the reconstruction of lineage trees from single-cell DNA data

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Iris Balcázar Castell; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study is to infer evolutionary trees through the Markovchain Monte Carlo algorithm (MCMC) [1] based on whole-genome single cell DNA sequencing data. By using MCMC we obtain likely tree structure samples according to the cells’ somatic point mutations in our data. READ MORE

  4. 18. Coliform as an indicator of waterborne microbial pathogens : identification using DNA sequencing

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Beatrice Tillgren; [2019]
    Keywords : water safety; indicator organism; microbial detection methods; international and national water regulations;

    Abstract : Coliforms are a group of bacteria that since the end of the 1900s’ have been used as an indicator for fecal contamination of water. With advances in microbiology in the 1900’s it became clear that the coliform group is large and varied group of bacteria and not ideal to use as indicator of waterborne pathogens. READ MORE

  5. 19. Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) genomics across Scandinavia : population structure and effects of marker selection

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Måns Näsman; [2018]
    Keywords : aquila chrysaetos; rad-seq; marker selection; hardy weinberg; population structure;

    Abstract : Rapid development in DNA-sequencing has led to increased use of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as molecular markers in wildlife genetic studies. RAD-sequenced SNP-markers can produce large datasets that are successfully used in studies on animal population structure. READ MORE

  6. 20. Resolving metagenomes usingsingle-molecule linked-readsequencing

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Jennifer Theland; [2018]
    Keywords : DNA sequencing; linked-read sequencing; DB-Seq; metagenomics; de novo assembly;

    Abstract : The development of Massively Parallel Sequencing (MPS) has enabled more accurate and less time-consuming DNA sequencing. Although MPS technologies are theoretically applicable to all samples and species, the majority of studies on microorganisms have been conducted on those able to be isolated and cultivated in laboratories.
