  1. 1. Identification of de novo Transcription Factor Binding Motifs Created by Cancer-related Mutations

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Siqi Li; [2022]
    Keywords : transcription factor binding motifs; funMotifs; PCAWG; mutations; de novo motifs;

    Abstract : In many countries, cancer is one of the biggest threats for citizens’ health, especially among aged people. Genomic mutations play a crucial role in cancer cell development. In previous decades, cancer research has been mainly focused on mutations in coding regions. READ MORE

    Abstract : Verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) of serotype O157:H7 is a pathogen causing illness in humans worldwide. The path and nature of transmission from and among cattle is important knowledge when it comes to preventing cases of disease in humans. READ MORE

  4. 3. A mixed clinicopathological and molecular proxy of homologous recombination deficiency in triple negative breast cancer

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Author : Elise Walford; [2021]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Clinical models are increasingly employed in medical science as either diagnostic or prognostic aids. Machine-learning methods are able to draw links in large data that can be used to predict patient risk and allow more informed decisions regarding treatment and medication intervention. READ MORE

  5. 4. Genetic diversity and hardiness in Scots pine from Scandinavia to Russia

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

    Author : Jenny Olsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Pinus sylvestris; recolonization history; genetic diversity; cold hardiness; clinal variation;

    Abstract : The postglacial recolonization of northern Europe supposedly originated from Western Europe and the Russian Plain, however, recent molecular and macrofossil-based investigations suggest that the history may be more complex than previously thought. This study aims to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of Scots pine from Scandinavia to Russia to re-evaluate its recolonization history, and to examine whether the pattern of spatial genetic diversity has any adaptive significance.

  6. 5. Evolutionary history and local adaptation in Scottish populations of Populus tremula

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Jonathan R. Wilson; [2019]
    Keywords : local adaptation; population structure; selective sweep; synteny;

    Abstract : From a subset of P. tremula samples taken from across Europe and China, principal component analysis of genetic variation indicated population structure in the Scottish population compared with the rest of Eurasia. READ MORE
