  1. 1. Analysis of relatedness and genetic diversity in Swedish sheep breeds using medium density (50K) SNP data

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

    Author : Krishani Devika Wijesinghe Sinhalage; [2023]
    Keywords : sheep; genetic diversity; population structure; inbreeding; runs of homozygosity; coat colour; MC1R;

    Abstract : The local Swedish sheep breeds belong to a group of sheep breeds known as North European short-tailed sheep breeds. Evaluation of genetic diversity, relatedness, and population structure of local breeds offers crucial metrics to prevent inbreeding depression, genetic erosion, and crossbreeding between locally adapted and exotic sheep breeds since these occurrences can have detrimental effects and ultimately lead to extinction.

  3. 2. Avelsarbetet med svenska varmblodshästar

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

    Author : Alba Bengtsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Svenskt varmblod; avelsarbete; avelsprogram;

    Abstract : Det svenska varmblodet (SWB) är ett av världens äldsta varmblod med rötter i en äldre kavallerihäst. Idag är avelsmålet för SWB-hästen inte längre att bistå Sverige i krig utan att vara en internationellt konkurrenskraftig tävlingsindivid i hoppning, dressyr eller fälttävlan. READ MORE

  4. 3. Gonadal hypoplasia in Swedish Mountain cattle and other native Swedish cattle breeds

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

    Author : Julia Hinken; [2023]
    Keywords : gonadal hypoplasia; Swedish Mountain cattle; fjäll;

    Abstract : The Swedish Mountain cattle and several related breeds show the phenotype of colour-sidedness. The genetic reasons for this phenotype are a translocation and duplication from chr6 to chr29 (known as Cs29) including the KIT gene and an additional translocation with part of the Cs29 translocation from chr29 back to chr6 (Cs6).

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. A Rank Score Model of Variants Prioritization for Rare Disease

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Nanxing Liu; [2023]
    Keywords : machine learning; variants; rare disease;

    Abstract : The diagnosis of genetic illnesses has undergone a revolution with advancements in sequencing technology. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has become a standard practice in genetic diagnostics, enabling the identification of various genetic variations. READ MORE
