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 ...

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 2015-01-01 till 2018-12-31

Sex and recombination are ubiquitous in nature but evolutionary biologists struggle to explain their origins and evolution. Social insects have the highest recombination rates recorded in the animal kingdom ...

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 2014-01-01 till 2017-12-31

The demand of a drug treatment at specific site increases sharply in musculoskeletal diseases and disorders. Bioceramic material is the natural candidate in this area because of their inherent properties ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2015-01-01 till 2018-12-31

The aim of this project is to advance our knowledge of the origin and evolution of mitochondria using bioinformatic, ecological and experimental approaches. First, we will look into the past by applying ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2012-01-01 till 2015-12-31

Bone loss and fractures,due to e.g. osteoporosis,require the use of bone substituting materials. Injectable,degradable cements like calcium phosphates are promising for this purpose. However,their poor ...

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 ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2015-01-01 till 2017-12-31

Regulatory RNAs control life processes in all organisms. Small bacterial antisense RNAs (sRNAs) act post-transcriptionally to regulate multitarget networks, complementing transcriptional control. This ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2015-01-01 till 2018-12-31

Although not a new idea, recent studies suggest that differences in the composition of symbiotic microbes between hosts could lead to reproductive isolation, and as a consequence speciation. Despite the ...
