1. Association analyses of forehead hair whorls, behaviour, and chromosome regions in Standardbred Trotters
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : Introduction: In horse breeding, athletic skills have been in focus and certain behaviour types have been found to be important for competition. Behaviour is heritable but is also affected by the environment. Just like humans, animals have their own personality and behaviour-traits. READ MORE

2. Beyond high mutation highrecombination limit in statisticalgenetics
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : One considers the bi-allelic model in population genetics which describes a population of genomes evolving under the processes of selection, mutation, recombination and drift. A focus is made on the Quasi-Linkage Equilibrium (QLE) phase with recent derivations from Neher and Shraiman, which exists for fast recombinations compared to selection strength and whose dynamics is greatly simplified compared to the general case.

3. Screening of early root growth characteristics in seedlings of Nordic spring barley : utilization of hydroponics and GWAS for identification of QTLs and candidate genes for root traits
University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant BreedingAbstract : In the Nordic countries, the cultivation of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has a long history, and as one of the major cereals in the world, barley is of global importance for food security. The world population is growing, which naturally will increase demands for agricultural outputs. READ MORE

4. Genetic background of temperament traits in standardbred trotters
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : The genetic background of temperament traits in horses has been subject for research for many years to obtain understanding of domestication, breed differences and welfare. Previous studies have found heritabilities ranging from low to moderate for temperament. READ MORE

5. Neural networks for imputation of missing genotype data : An alternative to the classical statistical methods in bioinformatics
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : In this project, two different machine learning models were tested in an attempt at imputing missing genotype data from patients on two different panels. As the integrity of the patients had to be protected, initial training was done on data simulated from the 1000 Genomes Project. READ MORE
