  1. 16. 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

  3. 17. Fine mapping of resistance against root aphids in sugar beet

    University essay from SLU/Plant Breeding and Biotechnology (until 121231)

    Author : Emma Leijman; [2011]
    Keywords : Resistance; Sequencing; Mapping; Molecular marker; Single-nucleotide polymorphism; SNP; Genome sequence; Breeding; Root aphids; Pemphigus betae; Sugar beet;

    Abstract : Sugar beet, Beta vulgaris, is an important crop for the global sugar industry being one of the two major crops cultivated for sugar production. In the USA, the sugar beet root aphid, Pemphigus betae, is a regionally occurring pest which damages sugar beets by feeding on their secondary roots which results in reduced biomass and hence a lower yield.

  4. 18. Bioinformatics analysis of whole genome resequencing data in the chicken

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

    Author : Khurram Maqbool; [2010]
    Keywords : Next generation sequencing; structural variation; insertion; deletion; chicken;

    Abstract : One of the most important challenges in human medicine is the identification of genetic variants underlying complex diseases but we are still not able to assess the risk of disease by genetic profiling. Also, as the complete functional properties remain unknown for most genes it is very important to further functionally annotate genomes. READ MORE

  5. 19. An epidemiological study of Swedish Campylobacter jejuni isolates from humans and broilers using multilocus sequence typing

    University essay from Naturvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Tora Lövström; [2009]
    Keywords : Campylobacter jejuni; multilocus sequence typing; population structure; epidemiology;

    Abstract : Campylobacter jejuni is the main cause of bacterial diarrhoeal illness in developed countries, with ~7000 cases being reported each year in Sweden. C. jejuni has received growing attention since it’s recognition as a human pathogen in the 1970s, but its epidemiology is complex and much still remains unknown. READ MORE

  6. 20. Molecular studies on infections with two nidoviruses: Bovine Coronavirus and Equine Arteritis Virus

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

    Author : Lihong Liu; [2004]
    Keywords : equine arteritis virus; genetic variation; open reading frame; RT-PCR;

    Abstract : Infections with nidoviruses can cause various problems in animals and human beings. Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) has been considered as an important pathogen, causing severe diarrhea of newborn calves, winter dysentery of adult cattle, and respiratory disease in calves. READ MORE
