  1. 11. Developing saddleback and emperor tamarin SNP set for in situ genotyping

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för ekologi och genetik; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Samantha López Clinton; [2022]
    Keywords : SNP genotyping; GT-Seq; conservation genomics; saddleback tamarin; emperor tamarin; Genotipado por SNPs; GT-seq; genómica para la conservación; pichico común; pichico emperador;

    Abstract : Many countries in the global south - which harbour the majority of the world’s biodiversity - face serious resource limitations and a lack of access to affordable sequencing services. Furthermore, biodiversity research and monitoring of non-model, threatened and/or cryptic species often relies on low-quality non-invasive genetic samples. READ MORE

  3. 12. Archaeogenomics illuminates 4000 years of Northern European Short Tailed Sheep in the Baltic Sea region

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Martin Larsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Sheep; Archaeogenomics; ancient DNA; Northern european short tailed sheep;

    Abstract : Sheep were domesticated ~10 000 years ago from Asiatic Mouflon. They then spread to Europe via the migration of farming human populations and had reached Scandinavia by ~6000 years ago. Another migration of humans stemming from the Pontic-Caspian steppe reached Scandinavia around ~5000 years ago, possibly with new types of sheep. READ MORE

  4. 13. Genome-wide association studies using machine learning

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Mohammad Mshaleh; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Genom-Wide Association Study (GWAS) is a field that studies the genomics of organisms. GWAS focuses on what is called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). In GWAS,the data of the SNPs is usually massive, which requires modern statistical analysis methods to investigate the relationship between those SNPs and a phenotype. READ MORE

  5. 14. Genetics of complement proteins among Swedish newborns

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Xinyao Sun; [2022]
    Keywords : genetics; complement protein; newborns; haplotype analysis;

    Abstract : Complement proteins play an important role in the body's immune processes and involve in the pathology of many diseases in human, such as major depressive disorder and schizophrenia. Understanding the genetics of those proteins is an important step toward unraveling their effects on psychiatric disorders. READ MORE

  6. 15. Unraveling gene gene interactions in rheumatoid arthritis

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Saad Salman Khan Lodhi; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systematic autoimmune disorder characterized by a persistent joint inflammation. A subset of HLA-DRB1 alleles known as shared epitope (SE) are the strongest genetic risk factors to develop anti-citrullinated protein antibody positive (ACPA-positive) RA. READ MORE
