  1. 1. The effect of TRAP150 on HPV16 E1 gene regulation

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

    Author : Emma Svanberg Frisinger; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Human papilloma virus (HPV) is a small DNA virus that is known as the causative agent in cervical cancer. The virus is found worldwide and causes more than 300 000 deaths yearly. Although there are many types of HPV, HPV16 is found in 99 % of cervical cancer cases. READ MORE

  3. 2. Investigation of the role of RNA-binding proteins in bacterial gene regulation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Mikrobiologi och immunologi

    Author : Sophie Baars; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Salmonella is a common food-borne, intracellular pathogen that causes infections in animals and humans. During infection of the host, flagella serve as important virulence factors that enable the bacterium to reach the site of infection and adhere to the host-cell. READ MORE

  4. 3. Expression of FLAG-tagged argonautes in Dictyostelium discoideum

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologi

    Author : Zozek Abdul Rahman; [2022]
    Keywords : Dictyostelium; discoideum; Argonaute; Protein; FLAG; FLAG-tag; Molecular Biology; Microbiology; SorMC; agnA; agnC; agnE; electrophoresis; pDM304;

    Abstract : Argonautes are conserved RNA-binding proteins that can regulate gene expression post transcriptionally through a process known as RNA interference (RNAi). This is done through the use of small RNAs, e.g. sRNAs that act as a guide for the argonautes, allowing for sequence-specific binding to the target site. READ MORE

  5. 4. The effect of sesamin supplementation in vegetable oil enriched feed on the expression of microRNA in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Emma Thorén; [2017]
    Keywords : microRNA; sesamin; Salmo salar; lipid metabolism;

    Abstract : Fish is without doubt the most important source of valuable omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids (FA), especially the long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) eicosa-pentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Aquaculture production of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is one of the largest fish industries in the world and a dominant source of fish in Western diet. READ MORE

  6. 5. Analysis of conserved microRNA targets in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.

    University essay from Institutionen för naturvetenskap, miljö och teknik

    Author : Ninwa Youssef; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : MicroRNA (miRNA) is small regulatory non-coding single stranded RNA molecule that can repress protein expression either at transcriptional or translational level. Since their discoveries in nematodes in the early 1990´s extensive research have shown that this mechanism is conserved across species. READ MORE
