  1. 21. Optimization of a multiplex ARMS-PCR for detection of the primary mutations causing Leber’s hereditary optic neuropath

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa

    Author : Klara Jäder; [2020]
    Keywords : Allele-specific PCR; LHON; Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction; mitochondrial DNA; single nucleotide polymorphism;

    Abstract : Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a genetic disease that causes the patients to become blind, first in one eye and then the other, around the ages of 10-75 years. The disease is caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA, which disturbs the respiratory chain leading to the deterioration of the retinal ganglion cells. READ MORE

  3. 22. NLRP INFLAMMASOME : CRISPR knockout of RIPK3 gene in THP-1 monocytes

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Ryan Potter; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inflammation is a biological response to harmful stimuli which assists the overall immune response in defending the organism against potential threats like bacteria and other pathogens. This response is largely regulated by multiprotein complexes known as inflammasomes, which use one or more multi-stage networks to create a coordinated response across cell groups. READ MORE

  4. 23. ARG-MATEE Automated Pipeline for Detection of Antimicrobial Resistance in WGS Data Collected from Pig Farms and Surrounding Communities

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Holly Halstead; [2020]
    Keywords : Bioinformatics; Microbiology; Pipeline; Snakemake; ARG-MATEE; Antimicrobial Resistance; Pig Farms; Conda; iss virulence gene; Thailand; surveillance; escherichia coli; E. coli; klebsiella pneumoniae; One Health;

    Abstract : As part of recognizing the interconnected nature of different sectors in relation to health, AMR (antimicrobial resistance) has emerged as an issue of high global importance. E. coli isolates were taken from pig farms in Thailand, which serves as a point of interest in the study of ARGs (antimicrobial resistance genes) in emerging economies. READ MORE

  5. 24. Antibiotic-Regulated Plasmid Copy Number Variation: A Driver of Antibiotic Resistance?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Ahmed Eldek; [2019]
    Keywords : antibiotic resistance; plasmid copy number; ddPCR;

    Abstract : Plasmids are small circular DNA molecules within bacterial cells that are separated from the bacterial chromosome and replicate independently. Also, they play a crucial role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes among bacteria through horizontal gene transfer. READ MORE

  6. 25. Recombinant expression of the cowpea chlorotic mottle virus

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Amanda Willas; [2019]
    Keywords : Biokemi; Biochemistry; Viruskapsid; Viruscaspid; CCMV; Chemistry;

    Abstract : All viruses are composed of both genetic material and a capsid. The capsid is composed by identical protein subunits and the purpose is protection of the genetic material, in this case RNA. READ MORE
