… 24 months Using the cell’s waste disposal system to remove cancer proteins Small mistakes in DNA can cause a cell to make proteins that turn the cell into a cancer cell. The researcher is … -
… via a process called “horizontal gene transfer (HGT)” which enable bacteria to exchange DNA that may include resistance genes. Aim This project studies the ways in which resistant … als 'horizontale gen overdracht'. Bij horizontal gen overdracht wisselen bacteriën onderling DNA uit en als op zo'n stuk DNA een resistentie gen ligt, dan wordt de ontvangende bacterie resistent tegen antibiotica. Tot …

… established. It is hypothesized that this can be partially explained by variants in regulatory DNA-elements that control the activity of genes. Because of a lack of understanding, regulatory DNA-variants are currently being excluded from standard genetic analyses. This project aims to … and experimental tools will be employed with the goal of increasing knowledge about regulatory DNA-variants and to improve the diagnostic yield for inherited sensory disorders. Getting … -
