  1. 16. Computational studies on DNA: insights into structure and dynamics

    University essay from SLU/Department of Plant Biology (from 140101)

    Author : Charan Raju Kanna; [2015]
    Keywords : epigenetic modifications; DNA methylation; G-rich sequence; uracil; molecular dynamics; demethylation;

    Abstract : The best-characterized epigenetic modification is DNA methylation, which was found to shape significantly gene expression in mammalian cells, though bacteria and plants display less sequence specificity. The cytosine methylation of DNA sequence here was studied by the molecular dynamic (MD) method. READ MORE

  3. 17. Analysis of oil content in the transgenic lines and wild-type of Lepidium campestre

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Philip Berg; [2014]
    Keywords : Lepidium campestre; Oljeanalys; Gaskromathografi; Vitrioscilla; Hemoglobingen;

    Abstract : The world's population is increasing and will be reaching up to 9 billion by 2050. More food needs to be produced in order to satisfy the growing demand in the future. Meanwhile there are increased focuses on the food we produce, which are healthier and have less negative impact on the environment. READ MORE

  4. 18. Optimization and validation of a triplex real-time PCR assay for thermotolerant Campylobacter species associated with foodborne disease

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

    Author : Maria Karlsson; [2013]
    Keywords : thermotolerant Campylobacter; multiplex real-time PCR; 16S rRNA; hipO; cadF;

    Abstract : The genus Campylobacter is globally recognised as the leading bacterial cause of human foodborne gastroenteritis. Every year around 8000 Swedes are infected by Campylobacter. Most people are infected by thermotolerant Campylobacter species, commonly C. jejuni and C. READ MORE

  5. 19. Differential gene expression profiling of chromatin-modifying enzymes and remodeling factors in the rat motor cortex after motor skill training

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Parisa Rabiei Far; [2012]
    Keywords : epigenetics; procedural memory; Smyd1.;

    Abstract : Fine motor skills are learned through repetitive practice and once learned, last for a long time. Skilled reaching is linked to structural and functional changes in multiple brain regions including, in particular, the primary motor cortex. READ MORE

  6. 20. Role of promoter strength in gene regulation in Kcnq1 imprinted domain

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

    Author : Shokoufeh Karimi; [2012]
    Keywords : Kcnq1 domain; Imprinting; Long non RNA; Epigenetic regulation; Promoter strength;

    Abstract : Genomic imprinting is a genetic phenomenon by which some of the genes go through several processes that restrict them from biallelic expression. To date, many investigations have been focused on mechanism of genomic imprinting in gene clusters. READ MORE
