  1. 1. Epigenetiskt arv

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

    Author : Moa Lindell; [2019]
    Keywords : epigenetik; epigenetisk nedärvning; epigenetiska mekanismer;

    Abstract : Epigenetik är den del av genetiken som behandlar förändringar i genuttryck som är oberoende av förändringar i DNA-sekvensen. Det som styr vilka gener som uttrycks och får effekt på fenotyp har studerats av forskare sedan 70-80-talet. READ MORE

  3. 2. Grb10 and developmental programming: evaluation of a maternal diet restriction model during gestation

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Daniel Bergman; [2015]
    Keywords : Grb10; epigenetics; imprinting; gene imprinting; developmental programming; DNA; methylation; material restriction diet; gestation; knock-out mice; obesity; diabetes; coronary heart disease; huypertension; epigenetik; prägling; genomisk prägling; perinatal programmering; metylering; maternell restriktionsdiet; dräktighet; knock-outmöss; övervikt; diabetes; hjärt - och kärlsjukdom; hypertoni;

    Abstract : This study was conducted at the University of Bath, UK, from September to December 2014 as part of an ongoing research project aimed at elucidating how the Grb10 gene might act as a mediator of long-term health effects (such as predisposition to obesity, diabetes, coronary heart disease and hypertension) caused by environmental factors during development. This phenomenon is known as developmental programming. READ MORE

  4. 3. Role of promoter strength in gene regulation in Kcnq1 imprinted domain

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

    Author : Shokoufeh Karimi; [2012]
    Keywords : Kcnq1 domain; Imprinting; Long non RNA; Epigenetic regulation; Promoter strength;

    Abstract : Genomic imprinting is a genetic phenomenon by which some of the genes go through several processes that restrict them from biallelic expression. To date, many investigations have been focused on mechanism of genomic imprinting in gene clusters. READ MORE

  5. 4. Importance of epigenetics in animal breeding : genomic imprinting

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

    Author : Dijana Zeric; [2012]
    Keywords : Epigenetics; Genomic Imprinting; X-linked QTL; IGF2;

    Abstract : ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to give an overview of the evidence for genomic imprinting in livestock and other mammals as well as outline the potential use of gene imprinting in livestock breeding. Epigenetics is the mitotical and meiotical partial hereditary variation in genomic activity without any alterations of the DNA sequence. READ MORE
