  1. 1. Exploring the genetic cause of myotonic dystrophy in horses

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

    Author : Thomas Simon; [2023]
    Keywords : genetics; bioinformatics; myotonic dystrophy; horses; variant analysis;

    Abstract : Myotonic Dystrophy (MD) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder that leads to a wide range of clinical signs including stiffness, abnormal muscle relaxation, and muscle atrophy or hypertrophy. Affected muscles develop a prolonged contracture in response to percussion of the muscle and show waxing and waning complex repetitive discharges in electromyography (EMG). READ MORE

  4. 3. Capturing genes with high impact based on reconstruction errors produced by variational autoencoders

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Utz Lovis Rieger; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this work we present a novel method to extract potential hub genes, transcription factors and regions with densely interconnected protein-protein-interaction networks from RNAseq data. To achieve this we deploy variational autoencoders, a generative machine learning framework, and extract the gene-wise reconstruction errors. READ MORE

  5. 4. Novel workflow for metagenomics and transcriptomics analysis of A.D. systems

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Author : Renaud Van Damme; [2020]
    Keywords : Metagenomics; transcriptomics; pipeline; A.D systems; Biogas; Bioinformatics;

    Abstract : The A.D. systems (anaerobic digestion), when used in biogas reactors, are an advanced ecological way to produce energy while treating waste. The majority of the microbial community of the reactor remains unknown to this day, due to the impossibility to culture most of the bacteria individually. READ MORE

  6. 5. The role of terpenes produced by Brassica napus in interactions with Verticillium longisporum

    University essay from SLU/Department of Plant Biology (from 140101)

    Author : Alessandra Ruffino; [2020]
    Keywords : Verticillium longisporum; terpenes; Brassica napus; Arabidopsis thaliana;

    Abstract : Verticillium longisporum is responsible for severe yield losses, especially of oilseed rape (Brassica napus). Rapeseed is the third most important source of vegetable oil worldwide. The need to increase rapeseed oil yield is not only because is a source of healthy vegetable oil but also because it is used as a biodiesel. READ MORE
