  1. 6. Epigenetic and transcriptional effects of full-length LINE-1 retrotransposons in human neural progenitor cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Author : Ninoslav Pandiloski; [2021]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Transposable elements (TE) are parasitic genetic entities that have the ability to alter their position within a genome and have the potential to influence its functionality. Although TEs play beneficial roles in the evolution of their host, they are active in various human disorders including neurological diseases, where may contribute to the progress of the disease.

  3. 7. The transfer of chromosomal genes through bacterial conjugation in Escherichia coli

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

    Author : Arijana Katana; [2021]
    Keywords : conjugation; escherichia coli; hybrid;

    Abstract : Evolution in bacteria occurs through the combined effects of spontaneous mutations and horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Several mechanisms can lead to HGT: (i) transformation, the uptake of DNA from the environment; (ii) transduction, the transfer of DNA carried by a bacteriophage into another bacterium during infection; and (iii) conjugation, bacterial mating mediated by a conjugative plasmid like the F-factor.

  4. 8. Evolutionary evidence of chromosomal rearrangements through SNAP : Selection during Niche AdaPtation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Marina Mota Merlo; [2021]
    Keywords : niche adaptation; duplication; positive selection; Salmonella; Bartonella;

    Abstract : The Selection during Niche AdaPtation (SNAP) hypothesis aims to explain how the gene order in bacterial chromosomes can change as the result of bacteria adapting to a new environment. It starts with a duplication of a chromosomal segment that includes some genes providing a fitness advantage. READ MORE

  5. 9. The role of terpenes produced by Brassica napus in interactions with Verticillium longisporum

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

    Author : Alessandra Ruffino; [2020]
    Keywords : Verticillium longisporum; terpenes; Brassica napus; Arabidopsis thaliana;

    Abstract : Verticillium longisporum is responsible for severe yield losses, especially of oilseed rape (Brassica napus). Rapeseed is the third most important source of vegetable oil worldwide. The need to increase rapeseed oil yield is not only because is a source of healthy vegetable oil but also because it is used as a biodiesel. READ MORE

  6. 10. A study of Neural Circuitry in Microdeletion Syndrome

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : David Holmberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Signal Processing; Analytical Software; Large Data Set; Classification; Sorting; Neurotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Abstract Introduction. The Brain is an amazingly complex piece of biological hardware, capable of massive information processing. It relies heavily on the delicate interactions between huge distributed networks to work properly. When these interactions are altered there can be any number of consequences. READ MORE
