  1. 1. Modelling of gene regulatory and spatial mechanisms which pattern the early human neural tube

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Fredrik Bertilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Biophysics; systems biology; gene regulatory networks; neural tube; isthmic organizer; midbrain-hindbrain boundary; WNT; FGF; morphogens; reaction-diffusion; finite-difference; 3D modelling; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Tissue patterning during development is thought to be driven largely by gene regulatory responses to spatial gradients of molecular signals, known as morphogens. In this thesis, early patterning of the human neural tube is studied using two different gene regulatory network models. READ MORE

  2. 2. Dual RNA-seq analysis of host-pathogen interaction in Eimeria infection of chickens

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Arnar Kári Sigurðarson Sandholt; [2020]
    Keywords : Dual RNA-seq; Bioinformatics; Eimeria tenella; Gene co-expression networks; Chicken;

    Abstract : Eimeria tenella is a eukaryotic, intracellular parasite that, along with six other Eimeria species, causes coccidiosis in chickens. This disease can result in weight loss or even death and is estimated to cause 2 billion euros of damages to the chicken industry each year. While much is known of the life cycle of E. READ MORE

  3. 3. Quantifying Differences in Gene Networks via Graph Curvature

    University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

    Author : Viktor Sundström; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Fast improvements of technologies for the acquirement of large genomic data through single cell RNA-sequencing have led to a need for new mathematical methods for the analysis of such data. One approach of representing this data that has emerged over the last couple of decades is through graph representations, i.e. READ MORE
