  1. 1. Exploration of the hereditary cause of sex ratio distortion in horses

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

    Author : Susan Ott; [2021]
    Keywords : Sex ratio; horse; selfish genetic elements; meiotic drive; Icelandic horse; Standardbred horse; Coldblooded trotters; heritability; Trivers-Willard hypothesis; pedigree data;

    Abstract : Even sex ratios are seen as evolutionarily stable and are maintained by a selection against a skewed sex ratio. However, sometimes sex ratios at birth are skewed towards one sex. Reasons for this phenomenon are often unknown. READ MORE

  3. 2. Markov chain Monte Carlo for the reconstruction of lineage trees from single-cell DNA data

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Iris Balcázar Castell; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study is to infer evolutionary trees through the Markovchain Monte Carlo algorithm (MCMC) [1] based on whole-genome single cell DNA sequencing data. By using MCMC we obtain likely tree structure samples according to the cells’ somatic point mutations in our data. READ MORE

  4. 3. Characterisation of Wheat dwarf virus isolates from the vector Psammotettix alienus

    University essay from SLU/Department of Plant Biology (from 140101)

    Author : Louise Lidemalm; [2013]
    Keywords : diversity; leafhopper; PCR; phylogenetic analysis; Psammotettix alienus; rolling circle amplification; sequence; vector; wheat; wheat dwarf disease; Wheat dwarf vector; whole genome amplification;

    Abstract : Wheat dwarf disease caused by Wheat dwarf virus (WDV) can cause a lot of damage in wheat fields by reduction of yield. WDV belongs to the genus Mastrevirus in the family of Geminiviridae and it is transmitted by the leafhopper Psammotettix alienus. READ MORE

  5. 4. Analysis of genetic relatedness using DNA microarrays

    University essay from

    Author : Jenny Welander; [2009]
    Keywords : Microarray; DNA chip; Single nucleotide polymorphism; Genetic relatedness; Linkage;

    Abstract : Analysis of genetic relatedness is of great importance in forensic casework such as immigration and identification cases. The conventional methods for relationship testing are not sufficient in the most complicated cases, because more genetic markers are required to obtain results with satisfactory statistical security.
