  1. 1. Killer action of Spok homologue in Fusarium vanattenii : Investigation through site directed mutagenesis

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för organismbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Samuel Jorayev; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Spok genes; FuSpok; Meiotic Driver; Fusarium; transposons;

    Sammanfattning : The Spok genes are a group of selfish genetic elements in the fungus Podespora anserina which kills spores lacking them. These Spoks function through a toxin and resistance domain. Homologues of these have been found across other species such as in the Fusarium genus. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Population Dynamics of Transposable Elements in Leptidea sinapis

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Ahmet Melih Öten; [2022]
    Nyckelord :transposable elements; transposons; population dynamics; Leptidea sinapis; genomics; bioinformatics;

    Sammanfattning : Although transposable elements (TEs) have been subjected to detailed study in various organisms such as humans, maize, and drosophila, this is not the case for all organisms. Despite numerous studies on the effects of TEs in the field of evolution and functional genomics, there has not been many studies yet on how much variation these elements show in populations.

  4. 3. A Single-Nucleus RNA Sequencing Analysis of HERVs and LINE1s in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Författare :Stein Acker; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Biology and Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that make up roughly 50% of the human genome, with retrotransposons (or transposons which retrotranspose via an RNA intermediate) making up the vast majority of these elements. Recent studies have suggested that TEs could play a role in many neurological conditions, including ALS and dementia. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Cut-and-paste transposable elements in the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi Claroideoglomus claroideum

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Evolutionsbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Wenbo Xu; [2019]
    Nyckelord :Transposable elements; Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi;

    Sammanfattning : Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are important symbionts to most of the terrestrial plants. Recent genome sequencing projects revealed that many AM fungi have repetitive genetic elements in their genomes and among these repetitive genetic elements, cut-and-paste DNA transposable elements were very prevalent.

  7. 5. Selfish, mobile genes in honeybee gut bacteria

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

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

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
