Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Background: Post-translational modifications of nucleosomal histone proteins play a vital role in regulation of gene expression, and are considered as one of the major emerging concept to study gene regulation.
But a comprehensive study of combinatorial patterns, or networks, of the post-translational histone modifications within nucleosomes still remains limited.

Methods and Results: In this thesis, we describe a framework to identify histone modification networks that might exist within nucleosomes.
To test this framework, we combined ChIP-seq data from human CD4+ T cells covering 39 different histone modifications, and identified over 750,000 nucleosomes.
We then carried out Boolean association analysis for top 186,000 nucleosomes for each individual histone modification, and robustly searched to find which other modifications show best dependency.
We then identified most prominent histone modification combination that occurred among the selected modifications.

Conclusions: Our results provide a comprehensive list of combinatorial patterns of histone modifications that might exist together within nucleosomes.
We conclude that Boolean approach provides a computationally efficient way to study histone modification networks.
We believe that when this approach is extended to different regulatory regions, such as enhancers and insulators, will provide us with better insights into gene regulation.
