  4. 18. The genetics of glioma : and the use of dogs as model for human glioma

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

    Author : Vanja Börjesson; [2016]
    Keywords : c-MET; canine; gene therapy; genome wide association studies GWAS ; next generation sequencing NGS ; glioma;

    Abstract : Glioma is the most common type of primary brain tumor in humans, and the second most common in canines. This tumor type originates from glial cells in the brain and is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in genes regulating important cellular functions. The current diagnosis of glioma is based on histopathological evaluations and gradings. READ MORE

  5. 19. Loci associated with bone strength in laying hens

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

    Author : Biaty Raymond; [2016]
    Keywords : osteoporosis; GWAS; fracture; genes; QTLs;

    Abstract : One of the growing welfare concern in the layer industry is the high incidences of bone fracture. This is thought to result from reduction in bone strength due to osteoporosis which is exacerbated by environmental stresses and mineral deficiencies. READ MORE
