  1. 1. Parentage Assignment using genetic markers in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio)

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

    Author : Sven Kristian Feddersen; [2023]
    Keywords : single nucleotide polymorphism; Parentage Assignment; aquaculture; genetic markers;

    Abstract : This study investigated the effect of varying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) marker density, error threshold selection, and different SNP selection strategies on parentage assignment accuracy in carp populations. Using a marker set of 15,615 SNPs, we found a positive correlation between the quantity of SNP markers and the accuracy of parentage assignments, consistent with existing literature. READ MORE

  3. 2. Pride and prejudice : extra-group paternity in lions and the effects of marker density on kinship and relatedness estimates

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Julia Jansson; [2017]
    Keywords : lion; mating structure; extra-group paternity; Single Nucleotide Polymorphism SNP ; marker density; panthera leo;

    Abstract : The development effective high-throughput sequencing techniques has allowed further insight to the mating systems of wild animal populations and challenged our perception that reproductive behaviour can be predicted from social structure. A recent study of lions (Panthera leo) in Etosha National Park, Namibia, found evidence of extra-group paternity (EGP) which has never before been confirmed among lions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) in dyf7- 141 of Haemonchus contortus as potential marker for ivermectin resistance

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Safaa Elmahalawy; [2017]
    Keywords : Haemonchus contortus; Ivermectin; anthelmintic; Teladorsagia circumcincta; resistance; dyf7- 141; ddPCR; threshold; Fractional abundance; mutation; wild type; mutant type;

  5. 4. The association of two genetic markers and evaluation scores for tölt in Icelandic horses

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Ida Barry; [2016]
    Keywords : Gaits; SNPs; Horse;

    Abstract : Previous studies have shown that some horse breeds carries a mutated variant of the gene DMRT3, which is crucial for horses to perform alternative gaits like pace and tölt. The mutation is also important for harnessing racing performance. READ MORE

  6. 5. Genome wide association study of milk composition traits in Swedish Red cows

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

    Author : Yohannes Goitom Tesfayonas; [2014]
    Keywords : Milk composition; single nucleotide polymorphism SNP ; GWAS;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to detect QTLs that affect milk composition traits such as fat yield, fat percent, citric acid, free fatty acids as well as milk properties like fat globule size, and determine the phenotypic variation explained by the QTLs. These traits play a crucial role in nutritional and technological properties of milk and its products. READ MORE
