  1. 1. Effects of whitefish speciation on piscivorous birds : A dietary study of piscivorous birds in central and northern Sweden

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Erik Söderlund; [2021]
    Keywords : Coregonus lavaretus; piscivorous; birds; diet; speciation;

    Abstract : The ecological communities we observe today are a product of the bidirectional interactions between ecological and evolutionary processes. Although the effects of ecological processes on population divergence and speciation have been studied extensively, far less is known about the effects of divergence and speciation on ecological dynamics.

  3. 2. Detection of hotspot mutations in IDH1/2 in patients withacute myeloid leukemia using Droplet Digital PCR

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Johanna Wågberg; [2020]
    Keywords : AML; IDH1; IDH2; ddPCR; NGS;

    Abstract : IntroductionAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is caused by a wide range of genetic aberrations, includingmutations within the genes that encode the enzymes isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2(IDH1/2). Drugs that target mutant IDH1/2 are now available, which makes assessment of themutational status of IDH1/2 important in clinical diagnostics of AML. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Metoder för parasitundersökning i fårbesättningar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Elin Hammarsten; [2018]
    Keywords : fFår; parasiter; Haemonchus contortus; poolade samlingsprover;

    Abstract : Infection with endoparasites is a problem in sheep flocks worldwide. In order to avoid treating animals with anthelmintics unnecessarily, or missing animal groups in need of treatment, it is important that there are diagnostic tools that effectively detects sheep groups with a high degree of infection.

  6. 5. Mjölksyrabakteriers förekomst i komjölk före och efter experimentellt inducerad mastit : Presence of lactic acid bacteria in cow milk before and after experimentally induced mastitis

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Anna Martina Roth; [2018]
    Keywords : mjölksyrabakterier; mikrobiota; mjölkkor; mastit; MALDI-TOF MS;

    Abstract : Kojuvret har under lång tid betraktats som ett sterilt organ. Resultat från analyser med moderna metoder som polymerase chain reaction (PCR) och DNA-sekvensering har lett till teorin om att det finns en normal mikrobiota i mjölk och att den har ett endogent ursprung. READ MORE
