1. 6. Predicting Chemical-Gene Interactions

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Ali Chishti; [2023-08-04]
   Keywords : Pesticides; Small streams; Prediction modelling; Chemical-protein-gene interactions; Aquatic organisms;

   Abstract : Pesticide use in agriculture has become a growing concern as it can have detrimental effects on the environment. The excessive use of these chemicals often leads to them seeping into nearby water bodies, causing harm to aquatic organisms. READ MORE

3. 7. Role of androgen receptor signaling in the activation and differentiation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Faiza Tahsin Rashid; [2023-06-27]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Androgens are steroid hormones essential for the development and maintenance of male reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are immune cells that act as the first line of defense against viral infections. READ MORE

4. 8. Development of osmo- and appetite regulation during transfer of smolt from freshwater to increasing salinities

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Jonna Hellesten; [2023-01-26]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is common in Scandinavian aquaculture and must be transferred from freshwater to seawater to grow properly. Despite being assessed as ready smolts, meaning they have gone through the physiological changes to prepare for SW transfer, the transfer result in a mortality rate of around 13-19%, and significant appetite- and growth reductions.

5. 9. Combining Cell Painting, Gene Expression and Structure-Activity Data for Mechanism of Action Prediction

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nationellt resurscentrum för biologi och bioteknik

   Author : Erik Everett Palm; [2023]
   Keywords : bioinformatics; deep learning; machine learning; joint model; tabular data; image data;

   Abstract : The rapid progress in high-throughput omics methods and high-resolution morphological profiling, coupled with the significant advances in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), has opened new avenues for tackling the notoriously difficult problem of predicting the Mechanism of Action (MoA) for a drug of clinical interest. Understanding a drug's MoA can enrich our knowledge of its biological activity, shed light on potential side effects, and serve as a predictor of clinical success. READ MORE

6. 10. Analysis of relatedness and genetic diversity in Swedish sheep breeds using medium density (50K) SNP data

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

   Author : Krishani Devika Wijesinghe Sinhalage; [2023]
   Keywords : sheep; genetic diversity; population structure; inbreeding; runs of homozygosity; coat colour; MC1R;

   Abstract : The local Swedish sheep breeds belong to a group of sheep breeds known as North European short-tailed sheep breeds. Evaluation of genetic diversity, relatedness, and population structure of local breeds offers crucial metrics to prevent inbreeding depression, genetic erosion, and crossbreeding between locally adapted and exotic sheep breeds since these occurrences can have detrimental effects and ultimately lead to extinction.
