  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. Mutationer i ASIP och MC1R som påverkar ullens färg hos Gotlandsfår

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

    Author : Moa Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : agouti; ASIP; mutation; ullfärg;

    Abstract : Gotlandsfår har avlats för en jämn och klar ull. Ullfärgen varierar mellan vit till svart, men marknaden önskar ull mellan ljusgrå och mörkgrå. Genom studier på gener associerade med ullfärgen blir det lättare att förstå deras roll vid pigmenteringen. READ MORE

  4. 3. Snow cover related camouflage mismatch decreases survival

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

    Author : Pieter Otte; [2022]
    Keywords : climate change; snow cover; seasonal colour coat; crypsis; mismatch; camera trap; survival analysis;

    Abstract : Climate change is expected to decrease winter severity at high latitudes, resulting in reduced days of snow cover. Several mammalian and avian species in the northern hemisphere express a seasonal colour coat (SCC) making them white in winter periods and brown or dark in summer. READ MORE

  5. 4. Domestication and coat colours : A review

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

    Author : Jenny Dalenius; [2021]
    Keywords : coat colour; domestication; genetics; pigmentation;

    Abstract : The domestication of animals is a process of great interest to many scientific fields, including genetics. Differences in coat colour between wild and domesticated animals have been of scientific interest for a long time. Coat colours are easily recognizable phenotypes and so have been studied since the dawn of modern genetics. READ MORE

  6. 5. Transfer Printing and Cellulose Based substrates for modern Textile Printing

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Mona Mrad; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Digital printing technology is a technique that has been growing since the 1990s and has a high growth potential when it comes to using different ink types and transfer printing techniques. In comparison to screen printing, digital transfer printing techniques have shown to consume less ink and water and are therefore considered to be a more environmentally friendly alternative for textile printing.
