1. The importance of the two- and three component systems WalRK and VraTSR for antibiotic resistance and phage susceptibility in Staphylococcus aureus
University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologiAbstract : Staphylococcus aureus is a human commensal bacterium, living primarily on the skin and in the nose. It is also a pathogen able to cause a wide range of diseases, including food poisoning, infection of wounds but also more serious infections such as bacteremia and endocarditis. 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. Whole-genome ordinary ridge regression including gene-gene interaction effects
University essay from Institutionen för informationsteknologiAbstract : The methodology of applying markers across the entire genome for the purpose of predicting genomic values, can improve prediction of complex traits. In this study, we considered all main effects (1981 markers) and epistatic effects (1962180 markers) in a wheat data set with 280 accessions to investigate if the inclusion of epistatic effects can improve genomic prediction.

4. Detection and characterization of genomic regions associated to Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Great Danes
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : Canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a lethal myocardial disease prevalent in large and giant-sized dog breeds, including the Great Dane (GD). The goal of this study was to identify genetic risk factors for DCM and to contribute to a future development of DCM genetic markers in order to facilitate disease diagnosis and risk allele detection.

5. Genetic analysis of metabolic traits in an intercross between 8-week body-weight selected chicken lines
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : Metabolic traits are of paramount importance in agricultural production, as this group includes most traits of economic interest in livestock improvement. Examples include growth rate, feed efficiency and fat deposition. READ MORE
