  1. 11. Low heritability-high variance controversy for dairy cattle disease traits

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

    Author : Maja Winther Iversen; [2014]
    Keywords : coefficient of variation; genetic variance; health traits; heritability; progeny groups;

    Abstract : Traits with low heritability estimates such as health and fertility are often assumed to have low genetic variance. However, the heritability is a ratio of additive genetic variance over all variance, and thus, the genetic variation of these traits may only be proportionally small. READ MORE

  3. 12. The Influence of Host Genetics on JCV and EBV Antibody Levels in Multiple Sclerosis Patients and Controls

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Elin Strid; [2012]
    Keywords : Host genetics; multiple sclerosis; EBV; JCV; natalizumab; OpenArray; genotyping;

    Abstract : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS), characterized by lesions formed due to demyelination. MS is a complex disease thought to be triggered by environmental factors in genetically predisposed individuals. The strongest associated susceptibility allele is HLA-DRB1*1501. READ MORE

  4. 13. Mätegenskaper för fruktsamhet och modersegenskaper i fåraveln

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

    Author : Anna Skogar; [2008]
    Keywords : får; lammproduktion; avel; mätegenskaper; fruktsamhet; modersegenskaper; arvbarhet; fårkontrollen;

    Abstract : The aim of this literature review was to suggest suitable index traits to use in the Swedish Sheep Recording Scheme for fertility and maternal traits. Since fertility and some of the maternal traits are not normally distributed advanced methodology is needed to calculate genetic parameters. READ MORE

  5. 14. Predicting Swedish breeding values for Danish dairy bulls

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

    Author : Anja Johansson; [2005]
    Keywords : dairy cattle; selection index; multiple regression; conversion equation; genetic evaluation;

    Abstract : Progress in dairy cattle breeding is facilitated by good methods to calculate estimated breeding value (EBV) from several countries. It is now possible to exchange genetic material across countries. READ MORE
