  1. 1. Analysis of somatic mutations in papillomavirus positive tumours from younger and older oropharyngeal cancer patients

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Andreas Ährlund-Richter; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT Background: Human Papilloma Virus positive (HPV+) Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), dominated by tonsillar cancer (TSCC) and base of tongue cancer (BOTSCC) has low mutation-frequency and better survival for younger than older patients.Aim: To examine if HPV+ TSCC and BOTSCC have distinct gene-mutation profiles, for 50 often-mutated genes in cancer, in younger compared to older patients and to test and compare different variant callers to get a deeper understanding of the data.

  3. 2. Effect of co-expression of Spodoptera olfactory receptors on Drosophila odour perception

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Hayder Muhammad Awais; [2014]
    Keywords : co-expression; Drosophila melanogaster; Spodoptera littoralis; olfaction; olfactory receptor proteins; olfactory sensory neuron;

    Abstract : Like humans, other animals are also able to smell and differentiate a large number of odours with great accuracy. Chemosensory signals play a vital role in locating host plants by insects. Drosophila has a well-developed olfactory system which can differentiate between different odours and recognize food, oviposition sites and potential mates. READ MORE

  4. 3. Dietary fibre composition and sensory analysis of heat treated wheat and rye bran

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Food Science

    Author : Matilda Johansson; [2012]
    Keywords : wheat bran; rye bran; dietary fibre analysis; sensor analysis; heat treatment; soluble dietary fibre; insoluble dietary fibre;

    Abstract : When grains of wheat and rye are conventionally milled, large quantities of bran classified as by-products are left and are mainly used for animal feed. Bran is a complex material composed of the aleurone layer, nucellar epidermis, a seed coat, a fruit coat and a small proportion of the germ and endosperm depending on extraction rate. READ MORE

  5. 4. Counting Sertoli Cells in Thin Testicular Tissue

    University essay from Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Abdolrahim Kadkhodamohammadi; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This master thesis develops a novel system to model the tubular structure in thin sections of testicular tissue and count the Sertoli cells. A three-phase method is proposed to model the tubular structure in microscopic images of the tissue, the model is deployed to detect the cells. READ MORE

  6. 5. Molecular analysis of dog and wolf genomic DNA to explore integration polymorphisms of Canine Endogenous Retroviruses, CfERV

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : MohammadReza Mirzazadeh; [2012]
    Keywords : Endogenous Retrovirus ERV ; Canine Endogenous Retrovirus CfERV ; germ line; Vertical transmission; Polymorphism; Copy Number Variation CNV ;

    Abstract : Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are found in all examined vertebrate genomes. Different mammals have been reported to contain different amounts of ERVs. For example, in the dog genome 0.15% of sequences are derived from retroviruses. READ MORE
