1. 1. Sex-associated genomic variation in two ecotypes of Littorina saxatilis on the Swedish west coast

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för marina vetenskaper

   Author : Amin Ghane; [2022-09-26]
   Keywords : Littorina saxatilis; Sex chromosomes; Sex determination systems; Sex-associated genomic region;

   Abstract : Sex, one of the most conspicuous characteristics of living organisms, has always been fascinating for biologists. The diversity of sex goes much beyond a simple distinction between males and females. Many organisms have more than two mating entities, and many species show some degree of hermaphroditism, at least in part of their life cycle. READ MORE

3. 2. Exploratory Analysis of Isoelectric Point Prediction with Simple Feature Encoding

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

   Author : Henrik Söderhielm; [2022]
   Keywords : Applied Physics; Biotechnology; Tillämpad Fysik; Bioteknolgi;

   Abstract : Proteomics is the large scale study of proteins in biological systems such as those found in human cells. The understanding of proteomes, i.e. the complete set of proteins expressed by an organism, has especially useful applications in the medical field such as genetic research and drug discovery.

4. 3. Analysis of the relation between RNA and RBPs using machine learning

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för datavetenskap och medieteknik (DM)

   Author : Mattias Wassbjer; [2021]
   Keywords : Machine Learning; Supervised Learning; Linear Regression; RNA-binding Proteins; LIME; T-Cells; CD4 Cells; K-mer; Bag of Words; RBP Activity Prediction;

   Abstract : The study of RNA-binding proteins has recently increased in importance due to discoveries of their larger role in cellular processes. One study currently conducted at Umeå University involves constructing a model that will be able to improve our knowledge about T-cells by explaining how these cells work in different diseases.

5. 4. Development and validation of bioinformatic methods for GRC assembly and annotation

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Roberto Rossini; [2020]
   Keywords : GRC; Germline restricted chromosome; kFish; assembly;

   Abstract : This thesis presents the work done during my master degree projects under the supervision of Alexander Suh and Francisco J. Ruiz-Ruano. My work focused on the development of in-silico methods to improve the assembly of the Germline Restricted Chromosome (GRC) of songbirds, more specifically that of zebra finch. READ MORE

6. 5. Clustering metagenome contigs using coverage with CONCOCT

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för datavetenskap och kommunikation (CSC)

   Author : Brynjar Smári Bjarnason; [2017]
   Keywords : metagenomics; coverage; composition; k-mer; clustering; mixture model; gaussian; dirichlet process; machine learning;

   Abstract : Metagenomics allows studying genetic potentials of microorganisms without prior cultivation. Since metagenome assembly results in fragmented genomes, a key challenge is to cluster the genome fragments (contigs) into more or less complete genomes. READ MORE
