1. Identification of de novo Transcription Factor Binding Motifs Created by Cancer-related Mutations
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : In many countries, cancer is one of the biggest threats for citizens’ health, especially among aged people. Genomic mutations play a crucial role in cancer cell development. In previous decades, cancer research has been mainly focused on mutations in coding regions. READ MORE

2. Characterization of MITF gene in crayfish and their possible role in innate immunity
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is a tissue-specific transcription factor (TF), with a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (bHLH-LZ) domain, which binds to the canonical E-box sequence (5’-CANNTG-3’) in the promoter region of target genes. In this study, the MITF-like protein was identified in the marbled crayfish (Procambarus virginalis). READ MORE

3. Identifying gene regulatory interactions using functional genomics data
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Previously studies used correlation of DNase I hypersensitivity sites sequencing (DNase-seq) experiments to predict interactions between enhancers and its target promoter gene. We investigate the correlation methods Pearson’s correlation and Mutual Information, using DNase-seq data for 100 cell-types in regions on chromosome one. READ MORE

4. Bioinformatics and molecular genetic studies of domestic and wild buffalo species : focus on evolutionary relationship of the DGAT1 gene
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : Improving milk yield and production is the main purpose of the selection in dairy industry. Genotyping tools give the opportunity to increase the frequency of favorable traits in the herd. Efficient breeding programs used in dairy industry have resulted in extensive genetic progress for many economically important traits. READ MORE

5. Polymorphism in myostatin gene and athletic performance in Nordic horse breeds
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : Athletic performance including working ability, riding, racing and endurance has played a leading role in horse breeding possibly since their domestication. Even though traits of athletic performance are considered as complex and dependant on environment, management and training, it has been shown that heritability of some performance traits can be considerably high.
