Phylogeography of vent, seep and fall species in the North Atlantic

Hydrothermal vents are unique biological systems driven on geothermal energy instead of solar power. The vent fauna seems to be related to fauna inhabiting hydrocarbon seeps and whale- and wood-falls. New vent areas, representing a completely new biogeogr aphic region were recently discovered nor...

Characterization of the role of the small GTPase Rab7b in intracellular traffic.

Intracellular trafficking is regulated by Rab proteins. More than 60 human Rabs have been identified but until now there has been no Rab assigned to the transport from TGN to late endosomes/lysosomes. In our recent work (Progida et al, under revision), we show that Rab7b is a strong candidate fo...

Genome size, cell size and growth; searching for the causal links

We here aim both at exploring the causal links between growth rate, genome size and cell size and the evolutionary drivers for reduced genome size. There are likely several routes to genome size variability within and across taxa. Here, we are mainly inte rested in the observation that meiosis an...

Characterization of plant associated AlkB-like demethylases

AlkB-proteinet hos bakterier er et enzym som reparerer, dvs fjerner, skadelige metylgrupper i cellens arvestoff. Metylerende stoffer finnes både inne i celler og i miljøet, og AlkB motvirker derfor de negative effektene av slike stoffer. Multicellulære organismer, f. eks. planter og mennesker, ha...
