  1. 1. Investigation of the interaction of A-MYB and TCFL5 on pachytene PIWI-interacting RNA genes in two sub-species of mice, mus musculus musculus and mus musculus castaneus

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Most Shova Banu; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Spermatogenesis is a complex process that involves the production of sperm cells from germ cells in order to transmit genetic information to progeny. The PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) is a non-coding small silencing RNA that guides the PIWI protein to silence target transposon transcripts to regulate the production of germ cells. READ MORE

  3. 2. Genes and factors responsible for Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistance ability

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Haveela Kunche; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance has become a growing medical problem in the past years due to the resistance shown by numerous microorganisms that are potential disease-causing agents. This developed resistance makes it hard to treat and prevent infections. It is vital to understand the genetic mechanisms behind resistance to address this problem. READ MORE

  4. 3. Selfish, mobile genes in honeybee gut bacteria

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Aleksei Põlajev; [2018]
    Keywords : lactobacillus kunkeei; transposon; transposase; mobile genetic element; pseudogenized; gut flora; symbiont; reduced genome; åland; gotland;

    Abstract : Transposons are selfish, mobile genetic elements, moving within the genome. The transposase genemakes this possible, as it codes for the enzyme that catalyzes the movement. In the case of bacteria,they can also move horizontally between individual bacteria, and sometimes even between species. READ MORE

  5. 4. Towards a dermal papilla specific expression system in mice

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Daniel Eriksson; [2013]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Abstract Stem cells hold great promise for regenerative medicine. In order to realize the potential of stem cell-based therapies, it is highly required to understand the basic mechanisms of stem cell regulation and transform such knowledge into medical applications. READ MORE

  6. 5. Identification of protein-interaction partners of ZBED6

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

    Author : Mi Zhou; [2012]
    Keywords : ZBED6; transcription factor; BAC TransgeneOmics; tandem affinity purification; protein interaction;

    Abstract : ZBED6 was recently discovered as a novel transcriptional repressor of IGF2 because a mutation disrupting one of its binding sites in porcine IGF2 intron 3 leads to greater postnatal IGF2 expression in skeletal muscle and makes pig grow more muscle. ZBED6 is unique to placental mammals and derived from domesticated DNA transposon. READ MORE
