The HIV/AIDS pandemic is still one of the most serious threats to human health, causing 1.7 million deaths in 2011 alone. Efforts to produce a vaccine to prevent HIV infection, which is needed to limit ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2013-01-01 till 2017-12-31

Microorganisms drive biogeochemical processes and cycling of most biologically active elements in the biosphere. These ecosystem processes are critical for our long-term existence on earth, yet our knowledge ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2013-01-01 till 2015-12-31

Over the past few years, new sequencing technologies have led to the discovery of novel types of RNA and novel catalytic functions for RNA in the cell. RNA-sequencing has further increased the ability ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2013-01-01 till 2016-12-31

The advent of massively parallel sequencing (MPS) has brought about significant changes genomics research. However, for use of MPS in genetic diagnostics, there are still many unsolved issues including ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2014-01-01 till 2016-12-31

Ända sedan människan påbörjade domesticeringen av våra husdjur och kulturväxter har man utnyttjat genetiken för att skapa raser och sorter med önskvärda egenskaper. Trots att domesticeringen, och senare ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2013-01-01 till 2015-12-31

Archaea are present in all ecosystems as important facilitators of global cycling of nutrients. In the deep ocean they are as common as bacteria which make the archaea one of the most numerous groups of ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2012-01-01 till 2014-12-31

The aim of this project is to study the origin, evolution and stability of cooperative traits in endosymbiotic bacteria, such as secreted proteins and gene transfer agents. We will use recent technologies ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2012-01-01 till 2014-12-31

I have recently identified over 40 novel genes that code for new members of the solute carrier family and many of these are likely to be novel transporters fro amino acids. We have unpublished data showing ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2013-01-01 till 2016-12-31

The dog may have been the first animal to be domesticated and has since been an integral part of human culture. In spite of this, we have very little understanding of the genetic basis of traits separating ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2013-01-01 till 2016-12-31

Människan har under årtusenden bedrivit selektiv avel för prestationsegenskaper i häst, vilket över tid har resulterat i stora skillnader mellan individer för fenotyper såsom storlek, beteende, kroppsbyggnad ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2013-01-01 till 2018-12-31

Genetic variation forms the basic material that allows evolutionary change over time. Finding, describing and utilizing genetic variation to understand human history has long been a focus of evolutionary ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2012-01-01 till 2014-12-31

We propose computational analysis of global patterns of gene and genome duplications in vertebrates, and their consequences for signal transduction, and microRNA (miRNA) network evolution, as well as expression ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2013-01-01 till 2016-12-31

Malfunction in cellular signaling is the cause of a wide variety of human diseases. Efficient and accurate flow of cellular information relies on scaffolding proteins that coordinate the physical assembly ...
