1. 1. Application of machine learning for the clustering of wheat transcription factor proteins into families and sub-families

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap

   Author : Haleemath Sameena Sameer; [2022]
   Keywords : Global food security; Machine learning; Transcription factor proteins; K Mean WRKY; Clustering; Salinity;

   Abstract : Wheat plays an important role in ensuring the global food security. Salinity of soil and water poses a major threat to its production and it affects both growth and development of wheat in a negative way. Wheat plants uses certain molecular mechanisms to adapt themselves under the salt stress. READ MORE

3. 2. Sequence Diversity andAntibody Response to Autologous and Heterologous MSP2 Antigens in a Prospective Malaria Immunology Cohort

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

   Author : Julia Zerebinski; [2021]
   Keywords : Malaria; sub-Saharan Africa; merozoite surface protein; antibody; immune response; antigen target;

   Abstract : Malaria, caused by the Plasmodium parasite and transmitted by mosquitoes, kills almost half a million people each year. Drug resistance in both the parasite and its vector make preventative measures increasingly important, and a fully protective vaccine is absolutely necessary to eradicate the disease. READ MORE

4. 3. miR-34 expression levels in relation to NLRP3 inflammasome activation in THP1-ASC-GFP cells : Pilot study

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Alyssa Smith; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Inflammation is the body’s innate immune system responding to harmful stimuli. The body reacts to this stimuli by forming and activating inflammasomes. Inflammasome protein activation plays major roles seen in metabolic and autoimmune disorders, showing the importance of comprehending the processes involved. READ MORE

5. 4. A pipeline for the identification and examination of proteins implicated in frontotemporal dementia

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Katharina Waury; [2020]
   Keywords : Bioinformatics; Proteomics; Dementia; FTD; Biomarker; Machine Learning; Random Forest; R; Pipeline;

   Abstract : Frontotemporal dementia is a neurodegenerative disorder with high heterogeneity on the genetic, pathological and clinical level. The familial form of the disease is mainly caused by pathogenic variants of three genes: C9orf72, MAPT and GRN. READ MORE

6. 5. Evolution and diversification of secreted protein effectors in the order Legionellales

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

   Author : Tea Ammunet; [2018]
   Keywords : diversification; early evolution; host adaptation; protein families;

   Abstract : The evolution of a large, diverse group of intracellular bacteria was previously very difficult to study. Recent advancements in both metagenomic methods and bioinformatics has made it possible. This thesis investigates the evolution of the order Legionellales. READ MORE
