  4. 3. Relatedness and diversity in Swedish local chicken breeds using mitochondrial DNA D-loop sequences and SNP data

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

    Author : Esther Taiwo Afolabi; [2023]
    Keywords : chicken; genetic diversity; mtDNA d-loop; SNP; Swedish local chicken breeds;

    Abstract : Genetic diversity is the variation in genetic information carried by individuals within a species or population. This variability plays a crucial role in enabling species to adapt and survive in changing environments and is essential for evolutionary processes. READ MORE

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

    Author : Andrea Hilding; [2023]
    Keywords : genetisk variation; lantras; höns; svensk lantras; Europa;

    Abstract : Detta arbete undersöker hur den genetiska variationen ser ut hos lantrashöns i Sverige och några europeiska länder. Den genetiska variationen är ett mått på vilken nivå av biologisk mångfald som finns inom en art eller population och kan visa på hur inavel tidigare förekommit i populationerna som undersöks.

    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
