1. 1. Bioinformatic approaches for detecting homologous genes in the genomes of non-model organisms : A case study of wing development genes in insect genomes

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Evolutionsbiologi

   Author : Lauri Mesilaakso; [2019]
   Keywords : bioinformatics; homology detection; exonerate; BLAST; non-model organisms; homologous genes; wing development genes;

   Abstract : Identifying homologous genes, that is genes from a common ancestor, is important in comparative genomic studies for understanding gene annotation and the predicted function of a gene. Several pieces of software, of which the most well-known is BLAST, have been developed for identifying homologues, but this can be challenging in non-model organisms where sometimes poor quality of genome assemblies and lack of annotation make it difficult to robustly identify homologues.

3. 2. Probes for ESBL : A Method for Production of Probe Targets in Antibiotic Resistant Genes

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Caitlin Haughey; Lauri Mesilaakso; Erik Berner-Wik; Emma Östlund; Jonatan Ulfsparre; Hampus Olin; [2017]
   Keywords : Antibiotic resistance; ESBL; Bioinformatics; Antibiotikaresistens; ESBL; Bioinformatik;

   Abstract : This project aimed to find a method for producing potential probe targets for identification of ESBL (Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase) genes in bacteria. ESBLs are a type of enzymes responsible for antibiotic resistance in many bacteria. READ MORE
