(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2002)Background A method to evaluate and analyze the massive data generated by series of microarray experiments is of utmost importance to reveal the hidden patterns of gene expression. Because of the complexity ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2003)TCF11 is a regulatory transcription factor belonging to the CNC-bZIP family. The specific biological function of this protein is still unknown. However, knockout studies in mice have revealed its importance during embryo ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2003)Background A limiting factor of cDNA microarray technology is the need for a substantial amount of RNA per labeling reaction. Thus, 20–200 micro-grams total RNA or 0.5–2 micro-grams poly (A) RNA is typically ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2004)The rbcL gene is constitutively expressed in the Chlamydomonas chloroplast. The gene encodes the large subunit of ribulose-l,S-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), the enzyme responsible for CO2 fixation in ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2004)Functions of taurine in animal cells have caught interest for a long time. Its efflux activity has been well-studied during cellular volume regulation, but has also been investigated during stimulation with hormones. In ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2004)Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is one of the most common autosomal dominant inherited disorders, and carriers are at greatly increased risk of developing malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNST). The NF1 patients ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2004)For evolutionary and medical reasons bacterial classification is an important field within microbiology. Before Carl Woese introduced the use of ribosomal RNA sequences for phylogenetic comparison, bacterial classification ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2004)In contrast to the mammalian major histocompatibility complex (MHC), where the MHC class I and class II loci reside in close vicinity to one another, the bony fishes have unlinked MHC class I and class II. Previous studies ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2004)Fibroblast growth factors and the four related high-affinity, tyrosine kinase fibroblast growth factor receptors are involved in the regulation of many key cellular responses in developmental and physiological processes. ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2004)Abstract The interest for commercial rearing of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) has grown over the last decades. However, heterogeneous growth and cannibalism during early juvenile stages causes serious financial losses. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2004)Background Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridisation (array CGH) is a technique by which variation in relative copy numbers between two genomes can be analysed by competitive hybridisation to DNA ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2004)Background The transcription factor c-Myb is expressed in hematopoietic progenitor cells and other rapidly proliferating tissues, regulating genes important for proliferation, differentiation and survival. ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2004)A total of nine single-copy transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana lines displaying varying degrees of silencing of a nos promoter-nptII marker gene (encoding kanamycin-resistance) have been studied, with emphasis on two of these, ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2004)In order to assess the biological role of the flap endonuclease 1 (Fen1), RNA interference (RNAi) was chosen as a method for FEN1 down-regulation in this study. Knock down of FEN1 was achieved both in stable transfected ...
-
Characterisation of the phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate 5-kinase, Fab1, in Drosophila melanogaster (Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2004)Phosphoinositides play important roles in downregulation of growth factor receptors, such as the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), through regulation of membrane transport and multivesicular body (MVB) biogenesis. ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2005)Det er vist at gallesubstanser er potente luktestimuli og induserer ulike typer adferdsmønstre hos fisk. Det er også flere egenskaper ved gallesaltene som gjør dem spesielt interessante i det akvatiske miljø som eksempel ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2005)Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 was grown under different conditions, in different growth media, and the following parameters were investigated; cell number, pH,oxygen levels, glucose levels, cell morphology, proportions of ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2005)A reporter gene was constructed of the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii rbcL 5 f region from position -70 to +47, relative to the transcription start point (+1), followed by the E. coli uidA (GUS) gene and the Chlamydomonas psaB ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2005)Abstract Vascular endothelial cells contain typical, elongated vesicles called Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs), which serve as a storage compartment for biologically active factors involved in hemostasis and inflammation. ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2005)The protein toxin ricin is found in the plant Ricinus communis, and is a useful tool in studies of intracellular traffic. It consists of an enzymatically active A chain and a B chain with lectin properties, joined together ...
