  1. 16. Factors Affecting How Well Bacterial Whole Genome Sequencing Reads Assemble

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Mustafa Linda; [2021]
    Keywords : WGS; NGS; Illumina; C; jejuni; SPAdes; FastQC; MultiQC; BWA; Kraken Krona; Trimmomatic;

    Abstract : Recently Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) has become the new high-resolution tool used to trace the source of foodborne outbreaks. There are often only a few genetic differences that can distinguish closely related bacterial isolates, and variability in data quality between different laboratories may influence the results.

  3. 17. Exploring Swedish Oat (Avena sativa) Genetic History - from AD 1440 to today

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Amanda Raud Westberg; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Oats (Avena sativa) have been one of the most important cereals in Swedish crop history, completely dominating domestic cereal production in the 19th and early 20th centuries. During this time, oats were mainly used as horse feed and since then, production has decreased with decreased use of horses. READ MORE

  4. 18. Genetic diversity status and associations with sperm quality characteristics in farmed Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus L.) across Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Anam Anjum; [2020]
    Keywords : Arctic charr; dd-RADseq; genetic diversity; GWAS; reproductive success;

    Abstract : The national breeding programme of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus L.) has been of fundamental importance for the expansion of Arctic charr farming across Sweden. Selection has been ongoing since 1980s documenting approximately 10% improvement per generation regarding growth related traits. READ MORE

  5. 19. Comparing the performance of different methods to estimate selection coefficient across parameter space using time-series genomic data

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Erik Zhivkoplias; [2020]
    Keywords : experimental evolution; selection; selection coefficient; fitness estimaion; benchmarking methods;

    Abstract : Estimating selection is of key importance in evolutionary biology research. The recent price drop in sequencing and advances in NGS data analysis have opened up new avenues for novel methods that estimate selection quantitatively from time-series allele frequency data. READ MORE

  6. 20. Detection of hotspot mutations in IDH1/2 in patients withacute myeloid leukemia using Droplet Digital PCR

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Johanna Wågberg; [2020]
    Keywords : AML; IDH1; IDH2; ddPCR; NGS;

    Abstract : IntroductionAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is caused by a wide range of genetic aberrations, includingmutations within the genes that encode the enzymes isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2(IDH1/2). Drugs that target mutant IDH1/2 are now available, which makes assessment of themutational status of IDH1/2 important in clinical diagnostics of AML. READ MORE
