1. 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 GeneticsAbstract : 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

2. Genetics of complement proteins among Swedish newborns
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Complement proteins play an important role in the body's immune processes and involve in the pathology of many diseases in human, such as major depressive disorder and schizophrenia. Understanding the genetics of those proteins is an important step toward unraveling their effects on psychiatric disorders. READ MORE

3. Fine-scale recombination landscape in the wood white butterfly Leptidea sinapis
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Recombination is a genetic process of extreme importance in evolutionary biology. It creates novel haplotypes and breaks down existing ones, and can affect the levels of genetic diversity and the efficacy of selection. It also plays an important role in the evolution of sex chromosomes and the divergence process leading to speciation. READ MORE

4. Life history and reproductive fitness variation associated with the Y chromosome in Callosobruchus maculatus
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för ekologi och genetikAbstract : In the seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus, the female is the larger sex and the male is the smaller sex. However, males that are almost as large as females can also occur, which is due to a specific Y chromosome haplotype. READ MORE

5. The common meadow EuropeanGrasshopper (Chorthippus parallelus)as a window to the process ofspecies formation
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Despite more than 50 years of research on the genetic basis of speciation, we still know very little about the early stages of this process. A general rule of speciation is the Haldane’s Rule, which states that postzygotic isolation is expressed earlier in the heterogametic sex: sterility and inviability in hybrids is much more likely to occur in the heterogametic sex.
