Likestilling - en grense mellom "oss" og "dem"?

Prosjektet skal studere integrasjon av de etnisk andre på ulike arenaer i vårt likestillingsorienterte samfunn. Stadige diskusjoner om bl.a. bruk av skaut der skaut og seksualitet jevnlig kobles, indikerer at ideer om kjønn og seksualitet, og særlig om h eteroseksualitet spiller en helt sentral ...

GNBIO-Grunnleggende næringsrettet bioteknologi

Molecular and functional studies of the WAVE-like regulatory protein complex in Arabidopsis thaliana

The recent years, much attention has been directed towards the mechanisms that regulate the actin cytoskeleton in eukaryotic organisms. In mammalian cells, the ARP2/3 protein complex and its' regulators, WASP and WAVE, are central activators of actin nucl eation and polymerisation, leading to the...

Evolution of chloroplasts: addressing the genomic processes behind acquisition of secondary and tertiary organelles

The dinoflagellate chloroplasts (plastids) originate from eukaryotic photosynthetic endosymbionts. Rather than being derived from a single group (being monophyletic) the plastids of dinoflagellates are originate from several organism groups and are thus of polyphyletic origin. Most dinoflagellat...
