8. 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 GeneticsAbstract : 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.

10. Parentage Assignment using genetic markers in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio)
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : 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
