6. The ethics of genome editing of animals
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : In the Western culture nowadays, a large number of animals is used for food production and because of the growing world population, the demand for animal products is increasing even more. Since the planet has its environmental boundaries, it is important that these products are produced sustainably to minimize negative environmental impacts. READ MORE

7. Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) lines deficient for genes associated with neurodevelopmental diseases using CRISPR/Cas9 technology
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can self-renew and differentiate into many other cell types. IPSCs are derived from somatic cells, and upon reprogramming, they share an expression profile similar to embryonic stem cells (ESCs). READ MORE

8. The environmental impact of introducing a potato protein for human consumption in Sweden
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : In this study, a Consequential Life Cycle Assessment (CLCA) was conducted on the introduction of a potato protein for human consumption in Sweden. The assessed environmental impact cathegories in the CLCA were the categories global warming potential, eutrophication and land use. READ MORE

9. Domesticering av Lepidium campestre med genomediteringstekniken CRISPR/Cas9 : analys huruvida genomediteringstekniken CRISPR/Cas9 kan användas i domesticeringen av Lepidium campestre
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)Abstract : Dagens samhälle är helt beroende utav fossila bränslen. Då vi ser hur tillgängligheten på dessa blir allt mindre parallellt med ökning av världspopulationen kräver detta nya innovationer. Ett bra alternativ till att lösa dessa utmaningar kan vara oljegrödor. READ MORE

10. Assessment of the Fluorescent Activities of Different Fluorescent Proteins for Potential Use as Biosensors in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologiAbstract : Development of genetically modified microorganisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae for use as microbial cell factories to produce fine and bulk chemicals has lately proceeded very rapidly, much thanks to new gene editing methods based on a CRISPR/Cas9 system adapted from bacteria which increases the rate of genetic engineering. However, development of methods which enable fast and simple screening of the best performing strains with specific sought-after characteristics is not advancing at the same pace. READ MORE
