  1. 1. Gonadal hypoplasia in Swedish Mountain cattle and other native Swedish cattle breeds

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

    Author : Julia Hinken; [2023]
    Keywords : gonadal hypoplasia; Swedish Mountain cattle; fjäll;

    Abstract : The Swedish Mountain cattle and several related breeds show the phenotype of colour-sidedness. The genetic reasons for this phenotype are a translocation and duplication from chr6 to chr29 (known as Cs29) including the KIT gene and an additional translocation with part of the Cs29 translocation from chr29 back to chr6 (Cs6).

  3. 2. Optimization of a multiplex ARMS-PCR for detection of the primary mutations causing Leber’s hereditary optic neuropath

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa

    Author : Klara Jäder; [2020]
    Keywords : Allele-specific PCR; LHON; Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction; mitochondrial DNA; single nucleotide polymorphism;

    Abstract : Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a genetic disease that causes the patients to become blind, first in one eye and then the other, around the ages of 10-75 years. The disease is caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA, which disturbs the respiratory chain leading to the deterioration of the retinal ganglion cells. READ MORE

  4. 3. Optimization of a Multiplex PCR-RFLP Method Used for Detection of Three Primary Mutations in Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy Patients

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa

    Author : Emilia Nord; [2020]
    Keywords : LHON; Restriction enzyme; Multiplex PCR; Mutation detection; Mitochondrial mutation;

    Abstract : Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is the most commonly inherited disease that causes blindness in one or both eyes, with a minimum prevalence of 1 in 31 000 in the northeast of England. What causes LHON is not fully known but three mitochondrial mutations, G3460A, G11778A, and T14484C, have been identified in over 95 % of all LHON patients. READ MORE

  5. 4. Detection of poleroviruses causing virus yellows in sugar beet

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Josefin Pettersson; [2020]
    Keywords : beet chlorosis virus; beet mild yellowing virus; sugar beet; Sweden; turnip yellows virus;

    Abstract : Sugar beet is a crop cultivated for production of sugar. Many diseases can cause yield loss of sugar beet, where some are caused by viruses. Virus yellows is caused by several viruses and is visible as yellowing of sugar beet leaves. These viruses are transmitted by aphids and can be found across the world in temperate regions. READ MORE

  6. 5. Detection of plasmid families carrying ESBL genes in clinical and environmental E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates

    University essay from Högskolan Kristianstad/Fakulteten för naturvetenskap

    Author : Johanna Nilsson; [2019]
    Keywords : β-lactamases; ESBLs; bla-genes; plasmid families; incompatibility groups; replicon typing; E. coli; K. pneumoniae;

    Abstract : Extended Spectrum β-Lactamases (ESBLs) are produced by the Enterobacteriaceae bacterial family, mainly by E. coli and K. pneumoniae. As these species are some of the main causes of urinary tract infections and sepsis, ESBL-production is of major concern. READ MORE
