1. Sex-associated genomic variation in two ecotypes of Littorina saxatilis on the Swedish west coast
University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för marina vetenskaperAbstract : Sex, one of the most conspicuous characteristics of living organisms, has always been fascinating for biologists. The diversity of sex goes much beyond a simple distinction between males and females. Many organisms have more than two mating entities, and many species show some degree of hermaphroditism, at least in part of their life cycle. READ MORE

2. Fine-scale recombination landscape in the wood white butterfly Leptidea sinapis
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Recombination is a genetic process of extreme importance in evolutionary biology. It creates novel haplotypes and breaks down existing ones, and can affect the levels of genetic diversity and the efficacy of selection. It also plays an important role in the evolution of sex chromosomes and the divergence process leading to speciation. READ MORE

3. Identification of novel loss of heterozygosity collateral lethality genes for potential applications in cancer
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Over the course of this project, I demonstrate the utility of a 4-phase analysis pipeline in the context of cancer therapy and the associated search for antineoplastic drug candidates. I showcase a repeatable means for generating lists of potential targets which may be used in conjunction with methods like small molecule screening as part of a search for broadly effective antineoplastic agents.

4. Patterns of diversity of sex chromosomes and mitochondria in sub- Saharan African populations
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Human genetic diversity is not distributed evenly around the globe, as it decreases along the route of modern human expansion, which originated in Africa. The ancestors of Khoe-San and rainforest hunter gatherers have been linked with the roots of human history and present unmatched diversity. READ MORE

5. Associationsanalys av genetiska markörer i islandshästens genom och fenotypiska uttryck såsom exteriör, rörelser samt sjukdom
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : Avsikten med detta arbete var att bidra till grundforskning om koppling mellan hästars fenotypiska egenskaper och gener med användande av genomisk associationsanalys. För detta ändamål har en enkät utformats och tillsänts ägare av drygt tvåhundra islandshästar. READ MORE
