  1. 1. Swedish red clover-associated Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii share high genetic similarity in the 16S gene but divergence in nod genes

    University essay from SLU/Department of Plant Biology (from 140101)

    Author : Tua Lilja; [2023]
    Keywords : genetics; nitrogen fixation; sustainability; symbiosis; taxonomy;

    Abstract : Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii (Rlt) is a root-associated soil bacterium (rhizobia) capable of entering a symbiotic relationship with various species of clover (Trifolium sp.) and fix nitrogen within root nodules. READ MORE

  3. 2. CYP2D6 loss of heterozygosity - a potential target for neuroblastoma therapy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Jordan Dupuis; [2023]
    Keywords : Loss of Heterozygosity; CYP2D6; Neuroblastoma; Collateral Lethality; Precision Cancer Medicine;

    Abstract : Loss of heterozygosity events, whereby alleles are lost at heterozygous chromosomal loci, are associated with cancer formation and may result in the deletion of numerous genes encoding enzymes that have critical activities within the cell. Consequently, vulnerabilities are created that are absent in normal cells which can be targeted using a precision medicine approach called collateral lethality. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Phenotypic profiling and drug screening in Rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Author : Laura Martina Lang; [2022]
    Keywords : Rhabdomyosarcoma; Phenotypic profiling; Phenotypic drug screening;

    Abstract : Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a type of soft tissue sarcoma that mainly occurs in children. RMS can be divided into two subtypes embryonal (ERMS) and alveolar (ARMS). The ARMS subtype can be especially aggressive when a balanced chromosomal translocation is present. READ MORE

  6. 5. Construction and Evaluation of a Cre-lox-Based Fluorescent Conjugation Tracking System

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

    Author : Carl Brännström; [2022]
    Keywords : Antibiotic resistance; horizontal gene transfer; plasmids; conjugation; conjugational frequency; Cre loxP system;

    Abstract : Plasmids are small, circular, extrachromosomal double-stranded genetic elements present in bacteria. Plasmids can replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome and play an important role as a transmitter of antibiotic resistance genes between bacteria. READ MORE
