  1. 1. Seroprevalence of feline panleukopenia virus in domesticated cats in Maasai Mara, Kenya : a possible threat of transmission to wildlife?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Clara Björkholm; [2024]
    Keywords : feline panleukopenia virus; FPV; domestic cat; seroprevalence; Kenya; Maasai Mara; Mara North Conservancy; Mara Cat Project;

    Abstract : Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) is a highly contagious virus that can stay stable in the environment for a long period of time. The virus can infect both domesticated cats, wild felids, and other wild animals. It has the highest morbidity and mortality rate in new-born and young kittens. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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. Integrative Approaches Illuminate Evolutionary Divergence in the Bar-tailed Lark Complex ( Ammomanes cinctura)

    Keywords : Alaudidae; Ammomanes cinctura; Integrative taxonomy; Genomics; Plumage; Evolutionary divergence;

    Abstract : Ammomanes cinctura (Bar-tailed Lark) is a lark species with a wide distribution in the Palearctic. One of its subspecies, A. c. READ MORE

  5. 4. Multiple-Emitter Super-resolution Imaging using the Alternating Descent Conditional Gradient Method

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Dolev Illouz; [2023]
    Keywords : super-resolution; alternating descent conditional gradient method; ADCG; multiple-emitter localization; nanoscale imaging; single molecule tracking; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the state-of-the-art 2D super-resolution technique alternating descent conditional gradient (ADCG) method's ability to accurately localize fluorophores in diffraction-limited single molecule images (SMI) and analyze the impact of pre-processing and post-processing modules on ADCG's fluorophore localization. A synthetic dataset obtained from the 2013 Grand Challenge localization microscopy and a temporally linked dataset obtained from an unpublished set of Optical DNA mapping experiments performed by Jonathan Jeffet at the NanoBioPhotonix Lab at Tel-Aviv University were initially segmented to extract their noise parameters.

  6. 5. Establishing novel approaches for assessing safety of genome-editing-based therapeutics

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Noorul Shaheen Sheikh Farid; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Genome editing based medicines are a new therapeutic modality being developed. They show great promise for a spectrum of genetic diseases lacking conventional treatment strategies. A major obstacle that prevents such therapies to reach the clinic is their safety. READ MORE
