1. Integrative Approaches Illuminate Evolutionary Divergence in the Bar-tailed Lark Complex ( Ammomanes cinctura)
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Ammomanes cinctura (Bar-tailed Lark) is a lark species with a wide distribution in the Palearctic. One of its subspecies, A. c. READ MORE

2. An assessment of the surrogate host metagenome-assembled genome decontamination for non-model host organisms : Proof-of-concept
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskapAbstract : In this study, a novel method has been assessed to bridge the gap between bioinformatics and ecological conservation efforts to gain evidence to further base conservational plans on. Herein, the validity of using a provisional host metagenome-assembled metagenome to decontaminate the data from host contamination was concluded. READ MORE

3. EVALUATING TRANSCRIPTOME ASSEMBLY POTENTIAL BY DIFFERENT DE NOVO SEQUENCE ASSEMBLER TYPES
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskapAbstract : With the rise of NGS technologies, the transcriptomes of non-model organisms can be reconstructed even with the absence of a reference genome, using de novo assembly tools. There is a wide range of de novo assembly tools frequently being developed, however, there is a still a knowledge gap about the different effects and efficiency of different de novo assembly software types for RNA-seq assembly.

4. SubKluster: Novel method to bin scaffolds from cereal genomes into subgenomes using substring frequency analysis
University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatikAbstract : The genome of the Belinda variety of the hexaploid oat (Avena sativa) has recently been sequenced and assembled. This project aims to improve the assembly by clustering the thousands of scaffolds into their three ancestral subgenomes using Principle Component Analysis (PCA) of kmer and repeat-element frequencies.

5. Investigating the expression and function of RNA-binding protein FUBL-1 in C. elegans
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : RNA interference (RNAi) is an important mechanism of gene silencing in Caenorhabditis elegans, in which short RNAs direct sequence-specific silencing of gene expression mediated by Argonaute proteins. RNAi in C. READ MORE
