  1. 1. Genetic consequences of translocations in the Doñana population of the endangered Iberian lynx

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Gaia Mora; [2024]
    Keywords : Conservation Genetics; Iberian lynx conservation; endangered species; species conservation;

    Abstract : Conservation genetics for endangered species is crucial in long-term conservation actions.Inbreeding depression and genetic diversity are main genetic parameters with relevance toconservation. The Iberian lynx was by 2002 the most endangered felid in the world. READ MORE

  3. 2. Analysis of relatedness and genetic diversity in Swedish sheep breeds using medium density (50K) SNP data

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

    Author : Krishani Devika Wijesinghe Sinhalage; [2023]
    Keywords : sheep; genetic diversity; population structure; inbreeding; runs of homozygosity; coat colour; MC1R;

    Abstract : The local Swedish sheep breeds belong to a group of sheep breeds known as North European short-tailed sheep breeds. Evaluation of genetic diversity, relatedness, and population structure of local breeds offers crucial metrics to prevent inbreeding depression, genetic erosion, and crossbreeding between locally adapted and exotic sheep breeds since these occurrences can have detrimental effects and ultimately lead to extinction.

  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

  5. 4. Genetisk variation hos lantrashöns : skillnader inom svenska lantraser och europeiska lantraser

    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.

  6. 5. From Plant Genetic Resource Conservation to Digital Biorepositories: A Coming Paradigm Shift in Ex-Situ Conservation?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Author : Christopher Keegan; [2023]
    Keywords : Bioinformatics; Genebanks; Genetic Engineering; Mixed-Methods; Multi-Disciplinary; Patent Analysis; Plant Genetic Resources; Synthetic Biology; Technological Trajectories; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : Plant Genetic Resource Conservation has been a staple of agricultural development for the past century. Recently, several prominent papers have raised alarm surrounding the development of synthetic biology techniques and their potential to render modern practices and methods of conservation in the global genebank network obsolete.
