  1. 16. Evaluation of the Oxford Nanopore Minion for the identification and differentiation of MRSA and non-MRSA isolates

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Kristoffer Nilsson Grimstad; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus are bacterial pathogens causing infectious diseases. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus, or MRSA, carry the mecA or mecC genes generating resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. MRSA is problematic to treat and crucial to rapidly detect while current diagnostic workflows are time-consuming. READ MORE

  3. 17. Sequencing the genomic DNA of Anodonta anatina using Oxford nanopore technology

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Saad Shikh Khaled; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Freshwater mussels are members of phylum Mollusca, which live in freshwater habitats such as lakes and rivers. Freshwater mussels are essential ecologically in the aquatic ecosystems, they have a high capacity for water purification and play a significant role in calcium recycling. READ MORE

  4. 18. Evaluation of Oxford nanopore’s MinION : Use, functionality, and genome assembly

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : John Baxter; [2019]
    Keywords : MinION; Genome; Klebsiella; NGS;

    Abstract : The rapid and reliable detection of pathogens is of utmost importance in healthcare settings to ensure the appropriate treatment thereby reducing morbidity and mortality for the patient. Current culturing, PCR based and NGS species detection methods are time consuming (Opota et al., 2015), limited in their detection (Buckley et al. READ MORE

  5. 19. Transcriptomic isolation and sequencing of the freshwater mussel Anodonta anatina : A pilot study and method development

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Johan Bergholm; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The freshwater mussel Anodonta anatina is a common mollusc found in rivers and lakes in Europe. Due to its lifestyle as an immobile substrate filter feeder, it is only exposed to pollutions which passes by it, thus the mussels are viable to be used as a bioindicator for the analysis of local aquatic health.

  6. 20. Establishing a canine genome sequencing protocol using Oxford Nanopore

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

    Author : Anna Darlene Van Der Heiden; [2019]
    Keywords : Oxford Nanopore; long-read sequencing; nanopore sequencing; canine genome;

    Abstract : The development of sequencing technologies has led to monumental ad-vances in the field of genomics, creating new areas of investigation and profoundly impacting our understanding of life itself. Presently, the “third generation” of these technologies is focused on improving the sequencing of long reads, which allows for studying complex areas in the genome. READ MORE
