  1. 1. Investigating the autoimmunity profiles of Covid-19 patients

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Alfred Kedhammar; [2021]
    Keywords : Covid-19; SARS-CoV-2; Autoimmunity; Autoantibodies; Cytokines; Covid-19; SARS-CoV-2; Autoimmunitet; Autoantikroppar; Cytokiner;

    Abstract : The clinical severity of Covid-19 varies greatly between individuals, and all underlying risk factors are not yet well understood. Previous studies have shown Covid patients to be enriched with autoantibodies against type I interferons, suggesting autoimmunity may be an underlying factor of susceptibility to severe disease.

  3. 2. Microarray Quality Control using Artificial Neural Networks

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Emil Andersson; [2019]
    Keywords : Artificial Neural Network; ANN; Microarray; Quality Control; Automated Quality Control; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : When using antibody microarrays to diagnose diseases, the process of quality control of the microarray data is an important step. Currently, a part of this process is performed manually by visual inspection. READ MORE

  4. 3. Identifcation of serum biomarkers in patients of exfoliative glaucoma in Scandanavian population. : Autoimmune profiling by microarray technology.

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Sabeen Asad Khan; [2019]
    Keywords : Glaucoma; Exfoliative; Microarray; Autoantibodies; Logistic regression;

    Abstract : Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness, estimated to affect more than 79 million people by the year 2020. It is a group of optic neuropathies that is found to be associated with autoimmunity. One of its types is exfoliative glaucoma which is more prevalent in certain areas of the world including Scandinavia. READ MORE

  5. 4. Haplotype Inference as a caseof Maximum Satisfiability : A strategy for identifying multi-individualinversion points in computational phasing

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Molekylär evolution

    Author : Ebba Bergman; [2017]
    Keywords : Haplotypes; Maximum Satisfiability; Weighted Maximum Satisfiability; Logic; Bioinformatics; cnF2freq; chaplink;

    Abstract : Phasing genotypes from sequence data is an important step betweendata gathering and downstream analysis in population genetics,disease studies, and multiple other fields. This determination ofthe sequences of markers corresponding to the individualchromosomes can be done on data where the markers are in lowdensity across the chromosome, such as from single nucleotidepolymorphism (SNP) microarrays, or on data with a higher localdensity of markers like in next generation sequencing (NGS).

  6. 5. Multiplexing microarrays with OSTEmer-biosticker : From polymer fabrication to bio analysis

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Sihui Chen; [2017]
    Keywords : Microfluidics; microarray; OSTEmer; biosticker; multiplexed; Mikrofluidika; mikroarray; OSTEmer; biosticker; multiplexade;

    Abstract : Microarray technology provides powerful tools in the field of biomedicalresearch because it can measure molecular interactions in a highly parallelfashion. It has uses in protein, DNA or cell research, in both discovery anddiagnostic applications. READ MORE
