  1. 36. Analyses of circular DNA molecules in the leafhopper Psammotettix alienus for identification of viruses and plasmids

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Jeremiah Sigalla; [2019]
    Keywords : blue dwarf disease; leafhopper; phylogenetic analysis; psammotettix alienus; rolling circle amplification; wheat blue dwarf phytoplasma; wheat dwarf disease; wheat dwarf virus;

    Abstract : Microorganisms often depend on vectors for transmission. A single vector may carry different species of microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria and viruses. In Sweden, leafhoppers of the species Psammotettix alienus are known as a vector of wheat dwarf virus, but they may be carriers of other microorganisms as well. READ MORE

  2. 37. A novel Adenoviral miRNA, a candidate for development of a novel gene therapy startegy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Benjamin Danish; [2019]
    Keywords : A novel Adenoviral miRNA;

    Abstract : In 2017, a novel miRNA was found at the MLTU-region of adenoviral genome, termed as MLP-TSS-sRNA. This current study started with performing a series of mutations in the MLP-TSS-sRNA in order to investigate how the MLP-TSS-sRNA as a single stranded small RNA was protected from rapid RNA degradation in transfected cells (in vivo).

  3. 38. Molecular detection and characterization of begomoviruses from Burkina Faso and Nicaragua

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Suneel Sekhar Rachapudi; [2019]
    Keywords : geminivirus; begomovirus; Calopogonium mosaic virus; Bean golden mosaic virus; Phaseolus vulgaris; polymerase chain reaction; rolling circle amplification;

    Abstract : Agriculture plays a major role in the economy of countries in Africa and America. Viruses have emerged as major plant pathogens during the last few decades on agriculturally important field crop plants. The genus Begomovirus belongs to the family Geminiviridae, which is the largest family of plant-infecting viruses. READ MORE

  4. 39. Protecting Privacy: Automatic Compression and Encryption of Next-Generation Sequencing Alignment Data

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Experimentell och klinisk onkologi

    Author : Wiktor Gustafsson; [2019]
    Keywords : data protection; compression; encryption; genomic data; privacy; cancer; ngs; next-generation sequencing; AES; Zstandard; sequencing;

    Abstract : As the field of next-generation sequencing (NGS) matures and the technology grows more advanced, it is becoming an increasingly strong tool for solving various biological problems. Harvesting and analysing the full genomic sequence of an individual and comparing it to a reference genome can unravel information about detrimental mutations, in particular ones that give rise to diseases such as cancer.

  5. 40. The impact of CRISPR/Cas9 generated mutations in pioneer transcription factors FOXA1 and GATA3 on oestrogen receptor function

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Miroslav Bobrik; [2018]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and two thirds of all breast cancers are classified as oestrogen receptor positive. ER is a transcription factor that regulates gene expression and promote cell proliferation that is critical in mammary gland development, and its aberrant activity is commonly present in breast cancer.
