Examples of BBS dissertation titles 2016/7
- Discuss the molecular mechanisms underpinning bacterial persistence in the face of antibiotic treatment. What problems does this provide for clinical management and what possible solutions have been explored?
- How can genome sequence data be used to understand influenza evolution?
- Human (especially female) meiosis is extraordinarily error-prone. What progress has been made in understanding the molecular basis for this genetic problem?
- Identification of functional variants in cancer genomes
- What has experimental evolution taught us about how new species develop?
- Innate immunity pathways in invertebrates
- What are common fragile sites, and do they have any biological significance?
- Dosage compensation of genes on the mammalian X chromosome: why and how?
- What does the assembly of embryonic stem cells into tissues and organs in culture say about the development of an organism?
- Control of transposable elements in vertebrates
- Complex architecture of ciliate genomes
- Does our modern understanding of epigenetics challenge the tenets of neo-Darwinism?
