1. SubKluster: Novel method to bin scaffolds from cereal genomes into subgenomes using substring frequency analysis
University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatikAbstract : The genome of the Belinda variety of the hexaploid oat (Avena sativa) has recently been sequenced and assembled. This project aims to improve the assembly by clustering the thousands of scaffolds into their three ancestral subgenomes using Principle Component Analysis (PCA) of kmer and repeat-element frequencies.

2. Identification and expression of genes involved in the arabinoxylan biosynthetic pathway in oat
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection BiologyAbstract : Oat is one of the most cultivated cereal crops in the world, and Arabinoxylan (AX) is a dietary fiber in oats with positive health effects. The biosynthetic pathway AX in Oat is still unknown, and which genes are active in its production. Ortholog genes have been identified in oat from other species like rice, wheat, barley, and Arabidopsis. READ MORE

5. Emissions of nitrous oxide associated with frost killed cover crops
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)Abstract : Agriculture is responsible for approximately 80% of anthropogenic emissions of the potent and long-lived greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). N2O emissions from agricultural soils are characterized by high temporal and spatial variability and often peak in short bursts related to events such as precipitation, fertilization and soil thawing.
