11. Bioinformatics and molecular genetic studies of domestic and wild buffalo species : focus on evolutionary relationship of the DGAT1 gene
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : Improving milk yield and production is the main purpose of the selection in dairy industry. Genotyping tools give the opportunity to increase the frequency of favorable traits in the herd. Efficient breeding programs used in dairy industry have resulted in extensive genetic progress for many economically important traits. READ MORE

12. The genetic basis of a domestication trait in the chicken: mapping quantitative trait loci for plumage colour
University essay from Biologi; Tekniska högskolanAbstract : 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

13. Importance of epigenetics in animal breeding : genomic imprinting
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to give an overview of the evidence for genomic imprinting in livestock and other mammals as well as outline the potential use of gene imprinting in livestock breeding. Epigenetics is the mitotical and meiotical partial hereditary variation in genomic activity without any alterations of the DNA sequence. READ MORE

14. Accuracy of quantitative trait nucleotide (QTN) prediction by surrounding SNPs
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : Information from thousands of markers distributed across the genome can be used for a new selection method in animal breeding and genetics. This method which is called genomic selection estimated the genomic breeding value based on the estimation of marker effects covering the whole genome. READ MORE
