  1. 1. Studying genetics of leaf shape variation in Arabidopsis lyrata

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Carina Kvernes Macpherson; [2019]
    Keywords : Arabidopsis lyrata; Arabidopsis arenosa; leaf shape; RCO genes; genotype; phenotype; gene sequence variation;

    Abstract : The relationship between leaf and its environment has resulted in a tremendous diversification of leaf shape within and between plants species, which is important to cope with the differing environmental conditions. Arabidopsis lyrata is a prime model plant that shows leaf shape variation within species and between related species. READ MORE

  3. 2. Marker generation for Fine Mapping a QTL in the chicken

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Ahlgren Elisabeth; [2014]
    Keywords : Behavior; Red Junglefowl; Single Nucleotide Polymorphism marker; Tonic immobility; White Leghorn; QTL analysis;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study was to design and test five SNP markers in an inbred chicken cross between Red Junglefowl and domestic White Leghorn of the 8th generation. The markers lie in a region affecting the tonic immobility behaviour which differs significantly between the two species. READ MORE

  4. 3. The genetic basis of a domestication trait in the chicken: mapping quantitative trait loci for plumage colour

    University essay from Biologi; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Md. Nazmul Huq; [2012]
    Keywords : qtl; quantitative trait loci; genome scan; qtl analysis; plumage colour; domestication trait; chicken; pigmentation trait;

    Abstract : Domestication is the process by which animals become adapted to the environment provided by humans. The process of domestication has let to a number of correlated behavioural, morphological and physiological changes among many domesticated animal species. An example is the changes of plumage colour in the chicken. READ MORE

  5. 4. Candidate genes and bioinformatic analysis of biological pathways for epistatic regulation of growth in chicken

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

    Author : Muhammad Ahsan; [2010]
    Keywords : complex traits; QTL mapping; SNP; mutation; divergent selection; KEGG; UCSC; Ensembl; Galaxy; GO; conservation;

    Abstract : Selective breeding programmes for desired phenotypes in animals provide a good resource for researchers to understand the genetic basis underlying those phenotypes. Most traits of economic importance in animals are quantitative traits, which are controlled by genetic as well as environmental factors. READ MORE
