1. Methodological development of human telomere sequencing with the Oxford Nanopore Technologies
University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaperAbstract : Human DNA is protected with telomeres, which consist of the repetitive DNA-sequence TTAGGG. A 3’-overhang folds back and in combination with the shelterin complex protects the ends of the DNA. READ MORE

2. Establishing novel approaches for assessing safety of genome-editing-based therapeutics
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Genome editing based medicines are a new therapeutic modality being developed. They show great promise for a spectrum of genetic diseases lacking conventional treatment strategies. A major obstacle that prevents such therapies to reach the clinic is their safety. READ MORE

3. Lactobacillus spp. in honey bees of southwestern Sweden : A feasible gut-analysis via long-read 16S nanopore sequencing
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskapAbstract : Together with other pollinating animals, honeybees maintain an ecological stability and pollinate both wild and cultivated plants, contributing to the preservation of natural ecosystems and overall security of food production. Unfortunately, honeybees across the world are dying at a dramatic rate, which is very dangerous for the biosecurity of this planet. READ MORE

4. Differential expression and function of fubl-1 gene isoforms in C. elegans
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Molekylärbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Mikrobiologi och immunologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Alternative splicing is the process of producing a variety of transcripts from one and the same gene. This adds further possible variability to gene expression and can in theory mean that one protein coding gene can produce multiple proteins with potentially different functions. READ MORE

5. Structural variation identification in non-reference cattle breed genomes
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Cattle are essential for the global food industry through the meat and milk production. It is from an economical point of view in our best interest to make cattle as efficient as possible, whether it is milk or beef production, without negatively influencing their health and welfare.
