En stor utmaning i framtiden är att kunna producera tillräckligt med livsmedel åt en växande världsbefolkning på ett effektivt och miljövänligt sätt. Nya strategier behövs för att avla fram grödor och ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2018-01-01 till 2021-12-31

Each branch of the tree of life includes a myriad of parasitic species but current research does not adequately represent their remarkable diversity. Today, entire parasitic groups have eluded characterization ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2018-01-01 till 2021-12-31

Genotype-to-phenotype mapping is a core feature of genetics. These maps describe how combinations of DNA variants (genotypes) contribute to the appearance (the phenotype) of an individual organism. Staggering ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2019-01-01 till 2021-12-31

Projektet syftar till att skapa ny kunskap om samutveckling mellan retrovirus och värdar genom att studera naturlig variation bland endogena retrovirus (ERV) inom och mellan värdpopulationer. Virus måste ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2019-01-01 till 2021-12-31

The purpose of this project is to generate new knowledge about co-evolution among retroviruses and their hosts by studying natural variation in the endogenous retrovirus (ERV) record within and across ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2017-01-01 till 2020-12-31

Most of our timber producing trees are depending on a root associated symbiosis with fungi called ectomycorrhiza (ECM). ECM communities usually containing only a few stand forming trees but hundreds of ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2019-01-01 till 2021-12-31

Genomic selection is a biotechnologically based approach to animal and plant breeding. It is efficient for closely related individuals, but less efficient for distantly related ones. It is therefore less ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2020-12-01 till 2023-12-31

Assessing safety of early candidates in drug discovery is currently to a large extent based on animal studies, requiring large amounts of animals every year. The purpose of this project is to validate ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2020-12-01 till 2024-12-01

Introgression is an important evolutionary process that allows the transfer of adaptive genetic variants across species boundaries and facilitates the emergence of biological diversity. Yet, the genomic ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2017-01-01 till 2020-12-31

Animal cells maintain tissue function by secreting regulatory factors to signal their activity and nutrient status, pathogen infections or injury. These regulated vesicle fusion events are typically much ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2017-01-01 till 2020-12-31

The current era of genomics has made whole-genome sequencing widely available. However, the structurally complex parts of most genomes – centromeres, telomeres, and large transposable elements (TEs) – ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2017-01-01 till 2020-12-31

We will elucidate fundamental question regarding protein-protein interactions involving Short Linear Motifs (SLiMs) through investigation of their prevalence, function, cooperativity, regulation and deregulation ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2018-01-01 till 2020-12-31

NBIS enables world-class life science by providing expert knowledge, creative data integration, advanced training, efficient data publication and access to high-performance data and analysis methods. NBIS ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2018-01-01 till 2020-12-31

Akvakultur är den typ av matproduktion som växer snabbast i världen men hotas av smittsamma sjukdomar. För odling av tvåskaliga djur är parasitinfektioner inom gruppen Haplosporidier, (Ascetospora) den ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2017-01-01 till 2020-12-31

The world is facing an increasing difficulty to treat bacterial infections due to the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Meeting this challenge requires innovative approaches to reveal the complex mechanisms ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2017-01-01 till 2020-12-31

Globally we are surrounded by vast numbers of unknown microbes that are essential in Earth’s turnover of nutrients and geochemistry. Recently, diverse novel archaeal phylum-level lineages, characterized ...
