1. 6. Developing an Advanced Method for Kinship from Ancient DNA Data

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Erkin Alacamli; [2023]
   Keywords : aDNA; ancient DNA; kinship estimation;

   Abstract :  The analysis of kinship from ancient DNA (aDNA) data has the potential to provide insight into social structures of prehistoric societies. Kinship analysis is gaining popularity as optimised wet-lab methods allow for studies with sample sizes on the level of whole cemeteries. READ MORE

3. 7. Evolutionary conservation analysis of sequence variants underlying ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Leyi Su; [2023]
   Keywords : Ecological adaptation; Evolutionary conservation; Atlantic herring;

   Abstract : The Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) is a model organism for exploring the genetic basis of ecological adaptation on account of its large effective population size which greatly restrains the disturbance of genetic drift. In this project, I conducted an evolutionary conservation analysis of the Atlantic herring genome using conservation scores generated by phastCon, phyloP and GERP++ in order to study the sequence variants related to salinity or spawning-time adaptation in Atlantic herring.

4. 8. Detecting structural variants in the DNA of the inbred Scandinavian wolf

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Lars Huson; [2023]
   Keywords : animal; animal population; bioinformatics; biological sciences; biology; Canis lupus; CNV; conservation genetics; conservation genomics; copy-number variation; DNA; endangered population; endangered species; evolution; evolutionary biology; extinction; genetic diversity; genetics; genetic variation; genomes; genomics; grey wolf; inbreeding; inbreeding depression; indel; mutation; pedigree; population genetics; population genomics; Scandinavia; smoove; snakemake; structural variant; SV; wolf; wolves;

   Abstract : Only 40 years ago, just three individuals made the journey from Finland/Russia to found the current wolf population in the southwest of Sweden. This population, that to this date descends from less than 10 founders, has a substantial increased extinction risk due to inbreeding. READ MORE

5. 9. A recipe for fish and SNPs : Filling the blanks for conservation genomics of Swedish wels catfish (Silurus glanis) populations

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

   Author : Lars Littmann; [2022]
   Keywords : Catfish; Silurus glanis; Genomics; Genetics; Conservation; Mitochondrial; Whole-genome; NGS; Sweden;

   Abstract : Swedish populations of Wels catfish (Silurus glanis) experienced severe declines during the 19th and 20th centuries. The main causes for the decline were loss of suitable spawning habitat and fragmentation of populations. Currently, three native and two reintroduced populations remain in Sweden. READ MORE

6. 10. The relative contribution of CNVs and SNPs to local adaptation in Norway spruce (Picea abies)

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Växtekologi och evolution; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Yuxuan Niu; [2022]
   Keywords : CNVs; SNPs; Norway spruce; local adaptation;

   Abstract : In the current environment of severe climate change, studying the adaptability of Norway spruce to the environment, that is, local adaptation is of great significance for helping to protect forest tree species and genetic breeding. As a structural variation, copy number variations (CNVs) have been proved to play an important role in shaping population structure and local adaptation in marine species, going beyond traditional studies focusing only on SNPs.
