B-box Proteins in Light-regulated Development in Arabidopsis
(2008-09-26)
COP1 and HY5 are two key regulators of light signaling in plants. Proteins interacting with either could therefore be important regulators of light-dependent development. Previous yeast two-hybrid screens, using COP1 or ...
In the quest for a cold tolerant variety - gene expression profile analysis of cold stressed oat and rice
(2008-11-14)
Cold acclimation is a process which increases the freezing tolerance of an organism, after exposure to low, non-freezing temperatures. The acclimation ensures that cold tolerant species can endure harsh winter conditions, ...
Development and Evaluation of Web Applications for Investigating Candidate Genes in Rat Models of Complex Diseases
(2008-11-21)
Many human diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and type 2 diabetes mellitus, have a very complex development, depending on both environmental and multiple genetic factors. By crossing inbred rat strains susceptible to ...
Analyses of Rat Tumor Models for DMBA-induced Fibrosarcoma and Spontaneous Endometrial Carcinoma
(2008-10-20)
Cancer is a disease of genes. Uncontrolled cell growth is the outcome from genetic as well as epigenetic alterations, resulting in a tumor cell mass that harbors a cancer genome. During progression, the tumor acquires ...
Gene Expression Patterns in a Rat Model of Human Endometrial Adenocarcinoma
(2008-11-28)
Endometrial cancer develops from the endometrium of the uterus and is the most common pelvic malignancy diagnosed in women in the western society. Similar to all cancer diseases, endometrial cancer is a disorder that results ...
High-resolution phenotypic profiling of a eukaryotic ribosome
(2008-09-19)
All living cells contain ribosomes, complex macromolecular assemblies of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins, responsible for synthesizing polypeptides in a process called translation. High-resolution three-dimensional ...
Forkhead Genes in Mammalian Development
(2008-11-12)
This thesis concerns aspects of Forkhead gene biology and it’s relation to mammalian
development. Genes from three subclasses are discussed, Foxj3, Foxf1 and f2, and Foxe3.
We have identified and characterized a novel ...
