1. 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 GeneticsAbstract : 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.

2. Iterative full-genome phasing and imputation using neural networks
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Människans evolutionAbstract : In this project, a model based on a convolutional neural network have been developed with the aim of imputing missing genotype data. This model was based on an already existing autoencoder that was modified into a U-Net structure. The network was trained and used iteratively with the intention that the result would improve in each iteration. READ MORE

3. Understanding sequence errors in analysis of short tandem repeats through optimisation of a library preparation protocol utilising unique molecular indices
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : In the last few years massively parallel sequencing (MPS) has become important for forensic DNA analysis by providing new and broader possibilities, such as increased discrimination power for short tandem repeat (STR) analyses. An imperative part of MPS analysis is library preparation where there is a fundamental reliability on in vitro DNA polymerisation, which is prone to errors. READ MORE

4. Baking quality of winter wheat : the effect of variety, cultivation site and nitrogen supply
University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular SciencesAbstract : Wheat is the most important cereal crop for breadmaking. Different wheat varieties tend to yield varying bread quality, which is affected both by genotype and environmental factors. The present study aims to investigate the genetic and environmental effect on bread quality. READ MORE

5. Association analyses of forehead hair whorls, behaviour, and chromosome regions in Standardbred Trotters
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : Introduction: In horse breeding, athletic skills have been in focus and certain behaviour types have been found to be important for competition. Behaviour is heritable but is also affected by the environment. Just like humans, animals have their own personality and behaviour-traits. READ MORE
