1. 1. Integrative Approaches Illuminate Evolutionary Divergence in the Bar-tailed Lark Complex ( Ammomanes cinctura)

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Zongzhuang Liu; [2023]
   Keywords : Alaudidae; Ammomanes cinctura; Integrative taxonomy; Genomics; Plumage; Evolutionary divergence;

   Abstract : Ammomanes cinctura (Bar-tailed Lark) is a lark species with a wide distribution in the Palearctic. One of its subspecies, A. c. READ MORE

3. 2. SubKluster: Novel method to bin scaffolds from cereal genomes into subgenomes using substring frequency analysis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

   Author : Victor Kalbskopf; [2023]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : The genome of the Belinda variety of the hexaploid oat (Avena sativa) has recently been sequenced and assembled. This project aims to improve the assembly by clustering the thousands of scaffolds into their three ancestral subgenomes using Principle Component Analysis (PCA) of kmer and repeat-element frequencies.

4. 3. Towards time-resolved cryo-EM of SARS-CoV-2 replication-transcription complex and Staphylococcus aureus DNA gyrase

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Anna Králová; [2023]
   Keywords : time-resolved cryo-EM; DNA gyrase; SARS-CoV-2; replication-transcription complex; protein purification;

   Abstract : Time-resolved cryo-EM has already provided ground-breaking discoveries in various fields, including structural biology, biochemistry, and drug development. Compared to traditional structural biology methods where mostly stabilized conformations are reconstructed, the main advantage of time-resolved cryo-EM is its ability to capture dynamic processes in biological samples at near-atomic resolution, which allows for studying biological structures as they change and interact in real-time.

5. 4. Identification of epigenetic biomarkers associated with the development of diabetic kidney disease in individuals with type 2 diabetes: a nested cohort study

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Socialmedicin och global hälsa

   Author : Marian Paiva Marchiori; [2023]
   Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

   Abstract : Introduction. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is the most common type of diabetes, and it can cause complications such as diabetic kidney disease (DKD), the main cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. There is an urgent need to develop new biomarkers that would improve DKD’s risk prediction in patients with T2D. READ MORE

6. 5. Evolutionary conservation analysis of sequence variants underlying ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Leyi Su; [2023]
   Keywords : Ecological adaptation; Evolutionary conservation; Atlantic herring;

   Abstract : The Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) is a model organism for exploring the genetic basis of ecological adaptation on account of its large effective population size which greatly restrains the disturbance of genetic drift. In this project, I conducted an evolutionary conservation analysis of the Atlantic herring genome using conservation scores generated by phastCon, phyloP and GERP++ in order to study the sequence variants related to salinity or spawning-time adaptation in Atlantic herring.
