1. 1. 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. 2. Genetic Data Privacy and Consumer Choice Behavior: An Exploratory Study on Direct-To-Consumer Genetic Testing

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

   Author : Inês Raeiro; Xuexin Li; [2023-07-03]
   Keywords : consumer privacy; privacy calculus theory; trust; genetic data privacy; direct-to-consumer genetic testing; consumer choice behavior;

   Abstract : The rapid growth of the Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing (DTC-GT) industry has raised significant concerns regarding the collection, storage, and use of highly sensitive genetic information. This study aims to address the existing research gaps by examining consumer privacy and choice behavior in the context of DTC-GT. READ MORE

4. 3. Parentage Assignment using genetic markers in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio)

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

   Author : Sven Kristian Feddersen; [2023]
   Keywords : single nucleotide polymorphism; Parentage Assignment; aquaculture; genetic markers;

   Abstract : This study investigated the effect of varying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) marker density, error threshold selection, and different SNP selection strategies on parentage assignment accuracy in carp populations. Using a marker set of 15,615 SNPs, we found a positive correlation between the quantity of SNP markers and the accuracy of parentage assignments, consistent with existing literature. READ MORE

5. 4. Microfluidic flow splitter shape optimization for high throughput

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Christoffer Papamoustos Palmér; Joel Linder; [2023]
   Keywords : Genetic algorithms; Lab-on-a-chip; Optimization; Acoustofluidics; Microfluidics; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Due to an increasing incidence rate, the need for new effective methods for diagnosing cancer are of high importance. Studies have shown that circulating tumor cells, CTCs, have great potential as a diagnostic biomarker. Acoustophoresis is a label free method, capable of separating CTCs from red blood cells in a blood sample. READ MORE
