  1. 21. Exploration of the hereditary cause of sex ratio distortion in horses

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

    Author : Susan Ott; [2021]
    Keywords : Sex ratio; horse; selfish genetic elements; meiotic drive; Icelandic horse; Standardbred horse; Coldblooded trotters; heritability; Trivers-Willard hypothesis; pedigree data;

    Abstract : Even sex ratios are seen as evolutionarily stable and are maintained by a selection against a skewed sex ratio. However, sometimes sex ratios at birth are skewed towards one sex. Reasons for this phenomenon are often unknown. READ MORE

  3. 22. Development of a novel quantitative PCR analysis method for HIV-1

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Anna-Malin Hallberg; [2021]
    Keywords : HIV; PCR; primers; probes; virus; detection; blood plasma; pathogen; biological pharmaceutical; protein-based pharmaceutical; genotype; subtype; RT qPCR; extraction; TaqMa; RNA virus; cross-dimer; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Biological pharmaceuticals are the answer to many severe diseases of today’s society. Some of these are protein-based drugs and can be produced from human blood plasma. In order to guarantee the safety of patients, absence of any pathogens needs to be ensured. READ MORE

  4. 23. Safety and Stability of Samples Stored on Filter Paper for Molecular Arbovirus Diagnosis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Emelie Bringeland; [2021]
    Keywords : Arthropod-borne viruses arboviruses ; alphaviruses; flaviviruses; dengue virus DENV ; Japanese encephalitis virus JEV ; Tick-borne encephalitis virus TBEV ; Usutu virus USUV ; Zika virus ZIKV ; Flinders Technology Associates™ card FTA ; Biosafety; Vietnam;

    Abstract : Expanding urbanization, climate change, and population growth contribute to increased transmission and spread of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses), many of which cause severe disease in humans. Pathogenic arboviruses include dengue, Zika, tick-borne encephalitis, and sindbis viruses, which together threaten more than half the global population. READ MORE

  5. 24. Jämförelse mellan okulär och molekylär diagnostisering av stråbassjukdomar i höstvete

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Agnes Radovic; [2020]
    Keywords : Oculimacula yallundae; Oculimacula acuformis; Fusarium spp; Rhizictonia cerealis; PCR; stråbassjukdomar;

    Abstract : I dagens jordbruk baseras diagnoser och rekommendationer kring kemisk be-kämpning till stor del på okulär diagnostisering gjord i fält. Den okulära diagnostise-ringen är ett bra verktyg, men i vissa fall är det svårt att se skillnad på liknande symtom orsakade av olika patogener. READ MORE

  6. 25. Development and validation of a novel quantitative PCR analysis method for HIV-1

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Josefine Sundgren; [2020]
    Keywords : HIV-1; qPCR; Octapharma; Taqman; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The major problem when developing primers and probe sets for detection of HIV-1 is its high genetic variability and strong ability to mutate. HIV-1 is divided into four groups, M, N, O, P based on genetic similarities, and there are more than 70 different circulating recombinant forms. READ MORE
