  1. 1. Conservation Genomics of the Long-tailed Duck

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Brynhildur Magnúsdóttir; [2021]
    Keywords : Long-tailed duck; migration; conservation; population structure; genome;

    Abstract : With increasingly warming climate, many bird species have been forced to respond to environmental changes, and the long-tailed duck (Clangula hyemalis) is no exception. The populations of the long-tailed duck have been in decline the past few decades and the species is classified as globally vulnerable and near threatened in both Iceland and Sweden. READ MORE

  3. 2. Epigenetic Regulation of Mitochondrial DNA

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Jennie Johansson; [2020]
    Keywords : Acetylation; Epigenetics; Heteroplasmy; Methylation; Mitochondrial haplotype; Mitochondrion; Non coding RNA; Phosphorylation;

    Abstract : This mini-review investigates and compiles the latest knowledge regarding epigenetic changes on the mammalian mitochondrial DNA and its proteins. Methylation of the DNA, acetylation of the proteins and silencing of genes by short non-coding RNAs are the main epigenetic changes known today to affect mitochondrial DNA, mostly leading to repression.

  4. 3. Genetic diversity of North Ethiopian indigenous sheep populations using mitochondrial DNA

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

    Author : Mulata H. Adhena; [2018]
    Keywords : sheep; mitochondria; Ethiopia;

    Abstract : This study was aimed to investigate the haplotype variations and maternal origin of four sheep populations (Highland, Abergelle, Elle and Begait) of North Ethiopia. A 1088 bp of the mtDNA control region was amplified using specific primers and the polymerase chain reaction was performed. The PCR products were purified and sequenced. READ MORE

  5. 4. Origin of the Egyptian Domestic Cat

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Carolin Johansson; [2012]
    Keywords : Feline domestication; cat in ancient Egypt; mitochondrial genome; Felis silvestris libyca;

    Abstract : This study presents mitochondrial genome sequences from 22 Egyptian house cats with the aim of resolving the uncertain origin of the contemporary world-wide population of Domestic cats. Together with data from earlier studies it has been possible to confirm some of the previously suggested haplotype identifications and phylogeny of the Domestic cat lineage. READ MORE

  6. 5. Mitochondrial DNA phylogeography of Norway spruce (Picea abies) in Northern Europe

    University essay from Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Md.Hasan Sahid; [2012]
    Keywords : Norway spruce; Genetic consequences;

    Abstract : Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.) is an important conifer tree species widely distributed in Europe. Genetically, the population of this large range is divided in two differentiated groups: a southern and a northern European group. READ MORE
