  1. 6. Screening of early root growth characteristics in seedlings of Nordic spring barley : utilization of hydroponics and GWAS for identification of QTLs and candidate genes for root traits

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Breeding

    Author : Karl-Johan Fabo; [2021]
    Keywords : spring barley; plant breeding; root growth; early vigor; seminor roots; GWAS; QTL; quantitative traits; quantitative genetics; marker-assisted breeding; hydroponics;

    Abstract : In the Nordic countries, the cultivation of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has a long history, and as one of the major cereals in the world, barley is of global importance for food security. The world population is growing, which naturally will increase demands for agricultural outputs. READ MORE

  3. 7. The role of RFX-target genes in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Abhishekapriya Ganesan; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and psychiatric disorders, for example, schizophrenia (SCZ) represent a large spectrum of disorders that manifest through cognitive and behavioural problems. ASD and SCZ are both highly heritable, and some phenotypic similarities between ASD and SCZ have sparked an interest in understanding their genetic commonalities. READ MORE

  4. 8. Neural networks for imputation of missing genotype data : An alternative to the classical statistical methods in bioinformatics

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Alfred Andersson; [2020]
    Keywords : genetics; imputation; bioinformatics; neural networks; GWAS;

    Abstract : In this project, two different machine learning models were tested in an attempt at imputing missing genotype data from patients on two different panels. As the integrity of the patients had to be protected, initial training was done on data simulated from the 1000 Genomes Project. READ MORE

  5. 9. Machine Learning Classification of Response to Internet-based Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy using Genome-Wide Association Study Data

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

    Author : Ren Xin; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) data is used to predict clinical outcome of Internet-based Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for patients suffering from depression. The original data has a very small sample size, but a huge number of features. READ MORE

  6. 10. Genetic diversity status and associations with sperm quality characteristics in farmed Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus L.) across Sweden

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

    Author : Anam Anjum; [2020]
    Keywords : Arctic charr; dd-RADseq; genetic diversity; GWAS; reproductive success;

    Abstract : The national breeding programme of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus L.) has been of fundamental importance for the expansion of Arctic charr farming across Sweden. Selection has been ongoing since 1980s documenting approximately 10% improvement per generation regarding growth related traits. READ MORE
