(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Reproducibility is a key challenge of synthetic biology, but the foundation of reproducibility is only as solid as the reference materials it is built upon. Here we focus on the reproducibility of fluorescence measurements ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Many herbal products have a long history of use, but there are increasing concerns over product efficacy, safety and quality in the wake of recent cases exposing discrepancies between labeling and constituents. When it ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2019)Every genome encodes a story of evolution, the remarkable complexity of life. Today, about five decades after Ohno’s momentous proposition on the genetic redundancy being an important driver for the evolution of genetic ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Muscle cells have different phenotypes adapted to different usage, and can be grossly divided into fast/glycolytic and slow/oxidative types. While most muscles contain a mixture of such fiber types, we aimed at providing ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)(1) Background: Mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteome profiling is most commonly performed by label-free quantification (LFQ), stable isotopic labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC), and reporter ion-based ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Molds thrive in indoor environments, challenging the stability of building materials and occupants’ health. Diverse sampling and analytical techniques can be applied in the microbiology of buildings, with specific benefits ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Autotransporters, or type 5 secretion systems, are widespread surface proteins of Gram-negative bacteria often associated with virulence functions. Autotransporters consist of an outer membrane β-barrel domain and an ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)Background Despite being one of the most intensely studied model organisms, many questions still remain about the evolutionary biology and ecology of Escherichia coli. An important step toward achieving a ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga which has historically been an important model system in cell biology. Here, we attempt to re-introduce A. acetabulum as a model system through the investigation of the ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Carnivore populations are declining globally due to range contraction, persecution and prey depletion. One consequence of these patterns is increased range and niche overlap with other carnivores, and thus an elevated ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)The complement system is vital for anti-microbial defense. In the classical pathway, pathogen-bound antibody recruits the C1 complex (C1qC1r2C1s2) that initiates a cleavage cascade involving C2, C3, C4, and C5 and triggering ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Complement component 5 (C5) is an essential factor of the defensive complement system in all vertebrates. We report the characterization of C5 cDNA and protein from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), a teleost fish species of ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Abstract Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) due to serogroup Y Neisseria meningitidis emerged in Europe during the 2000s. Draft genomes of serogroup Y isolates in Sweden revealed that although the population structure ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is defined as a “critical” priority pathogen for the development of new antibiotics. Here we report the complete genome sequence of an extensively drug-resistant, Verona ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Individuals of many species utter distress calls when are attacked or trapped by a predator. These vocalizations can help them to escape but may also help conspecifics to reduce their predation risk, by inducing antipredator ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)The factors underlying gene flow and genomic population structure in vagile seabirds are notoriously difficult to understand due to their complex ecology with diverse dispersal barriers and extensive periods at sea. Yet, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Viola sect. Melanium, the so-called pansy, is an allopolyploid morphologically well-defined lineage of ca. 110 perennial and annual species in the northern hemisphere, characterized by markedly complex genomic configurations. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Abstract Translating innovative nanomaterials to medical products requires efficient manufacturing techniques that enable large‐scale high‐throughput synthesis with high reproducibility. Drug carriers in medicine embrace ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)Background Classical major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules play an essential role in presenting peptide antigens to CD4+ T lymphocytes in the acquired immune system. The non-classical ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2023)The study explores the molecular basis of severe mental disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and emphasizes the role of computational simulations in advancing their treatment. The dissertation presents two ...
