  1. 1. Skillnader mellan granindivider gällande initieringsfrekvens för somatisk embryogenes

    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : Josefine Björs; Jonathan Sjögren; [2023]
    Keywords : skogsträdsförädling; Picea abies; fröklonförökning;

    Abstract : Gran (Picea abies) har länge varit ett viktigt trädslag för den svenska skogsnäringen. Skogsbruket står inför en oviss framtid och med ett alltmer ostadigt klimat behövs ett genetiskt material som kan klara dessa nya prövningar. READ MORE

  3. 2. Genome-wide association studies using machine learning

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Mohammad Mshaleh; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Genom-Wide Association Study (GWAS) is a field that studies the genomics of organisms. GWAS focuses on what is called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). In GWAS,the data of the SNPs is usually massive, which requires modern statistical analysis methods to investigate the relationship between those SNPs and a phenotype. READ MORE

  4. 3. Screening of early root growth characteristics in seedlings of Nordic spring barley : utilization of hydroponics and GWAS for identification of QTLs and candidate genes for root traits

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Breeding

    Author : Karl-Johan Fabo; [2021]
    Keywords : spring barley; plant breeding; root growth; early vigor; seminor roots; GWAS; QTL; quantitative traits; quantitative genetics; marker-assisted breeding; hydroponics;

    Abstract : In the Nordic countries, the cultivation of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has a long history, and as one of the major cereals in the world, barley is of global importance for food security. The world population is growing, which naturally will increase demands for agricultural outputs. READ MORE

  5. 4. The role of RFX-target genes in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Abhishekapriya Ganesan; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and psychiatric disorders, for example, schizophrenia (SCZ) represent a large spectrum of disorders that manifest through cognitive and behavioural problems. ASD and SCZ are both highly heritable, and some phenotypic similarities between ASD and SCZ have sparked an interest in understanding their genetic commonalities. READ MORE

  6. 5. Genetic diversity status and associations with sperm quality characteristics in farmed Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus L.) across Sweden

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

    Author : Anam Anjum; [2020]
    Keywords : Arctic charr; dd-RADseq; genetic diversity; GWAS; reproductive success;

    Abstract : The national breeding programme of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus L.) has been of fundamental importance for the expansion of Arctic charr farming across Sweden. Selection has been ongoing since 1980s documenting approximately 10% improvement per generation regarding growth related traits. READ MORE
