  1. 6. The battle against sepsis : exploring the genotypic diversity of pseudomonas and proteus clinical isolates

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Suud Ahmed; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sepsis is a dangerous and potentially fatal condition that has a mysterious origin, underscoring the significance of prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment. Bacterial whole-genome sequencing, which is widely used in clinical microbiology, stands at the forefront of sequencing technologies, particularly to combat sepsis. READ MORE

  3. 7. Evolutionary conservation analysis of sequence variants underlying ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Leyi Su; [2023]
    Keywords : Ecological adaptation; Evolutionary conservation; Atlantic herring;

    Abstract : The Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) is a model organism for exploring the genetic basis of ecological adaptation on account of its large effective population size which greatly restrains the disturbance of genetic drift. In this project, I conducted an evolutionary conservation analysis of the Atlantic herring genome using conservation scores generated by phastCon, phyloP and GERP++ in order to study the sequence variants related to salinity or spawning-time adaptation in Atlantic herring.

  4. 8. The importance of databases during pandemics: A study of GISAID during the COVID-19 pandemic

    University essay from KTH/Datavetenskap

    Author : Jesper Önell; Patrik Kinnunen; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The GISAID database has swiftly become the world’s largest genome sequence database. As of May 2022, there is currently over 10 million genome sequence submissions to GISAID compared to 25 thousand in early 2020. This paper has the scientific goal in examining how integral the GISAID database has been in the COVID-19 response. READ MORE

  5. 9. Development of a Python Pipeline for the Analysis of Campylobacter

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Elvira Zetterberg; Evelina Andersson; Alma Nilsson; Moa Qvarnlöf; Corinne Olivero; Julia Sulyaeva; [2022]
    Keywords : Campylobacter; WGS; pipeline; sequence alignment; Illumina; ARIBA;

    Abstract : Statens veterinärmedicinska anstalt, SVA, is a government agency that works for better animal and human health with a primary focus on infectious animal diseases. One of their projects involves tracking the spread of Campylobacter infection in broilers and the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in these bacteria. READ MORE

  6. 10. Estimating the effective population size of Swedish native cattle : understanding the demographic trajectories of indigenous Swedish cattle breeds

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

    Author : Dolapo Adepoju; [2022]
    Keywords : Swedish native cattle; effective population size; genetic drift; cattle demographic trajectories; native cattle conservation;

    Abstract : The indigenous cattle populations are on the decline globally with the continuous improvement of genetic gains in commercial breeds. Due to their unique adaptive features to the local ecosystem, traditional cattle breeds are pools of valuable genetic resources that could help combat the impact of climate change in the near future.
