  1. 1. Parentage Assignment using genetic markers in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio)

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

    Author : Sven Kristian Feddersen; [2023]
    Keywords : single nucleotide polymorphism; Parentage Assignment; aquaculture; genetic markers;

    Abstract : This study investigated the effect of varying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) marker density, error threshold selection, and different SNP selection strategies on parentage assignment accuracy in carp populations. Using a marker set of 15,615 SNPs, we found a positive correlation between the quantity of SNP markers and the accuracy of parentage assignments, consistent with existing literature. READ MORE

  4. 3. A bear-y strong comeback: Investigating temporal genomic consequences of a recent demographic bottleneck in the Scandinavian brown bear

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Amanda Lindahl; [2023]
    Keywords : Evolutionary biology; ancient DNA; bottleneck; whole-genome sequencing;

    Abstract : The Scandinavian brown bear went through a severe bottleneck due to human actions in the early 1900’s that reduced the population to low numbers. After protective measures were taken, the population recovered and today it consists of around 3000 individuals. READ MORE

  5. 4. Validation of a Next Generation Sequencing based method for chimerism analysis in clinical practice

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Maria Högberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Devyser chimerism; fragment analysis; hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; short tandem repeats; indels;

    Abstract : Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is used to treat patient with hematological diseases such as leukemia and genetic conditions such as sickle cell anemia. After HSCT the patients are supervised for signs of relapse of disease or rejection of transplanted cells. This is done by using chimerism analysis. READ MORE

  6. 5. Archaeogenomics illuminates 4000 years of Northern European Short Tailed Sheep in the Baltic Sea region

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Martin Larsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Sheep; Archaeogenomics; ancient DNA; Northern european short tailed sheep;

    Abstract : Sheep were domesticated ~10 000 years ago from Asiatic Mouflon. They then spread to Europe via the migration of farming human populations and had reached Scandinavia by ~6000 years ago. Another migration of humans stemming from the Pontic-Caspian steppe reached Scandinavia around ~5000 years ago, possibly with new types of sheep. READ MORE
