  1. 1. The use of endogenous retroviruses as markers to describe the genetic relationships among some local Swedish sheep breeds

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

    Author : Robert Mukiibi; [2014]
    Keywords : Indigenous Swedish breeds; enJSRV; primitive; endogenous; polymorphism; proviruses;

    Abstract : The present modern sheep is believed to have evolved from its wild ancestors 2.5 million years ago. Furthermore archeological evidence suggest that sheep has been domesticated by man since 8500-9000 years BC for their beneficial products to man including; milk, meat, skin and wool. READ MORE

  3. 2. The identification and classification of endogenous retroviruses in the horse genome

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

    Author : Batmagnai Enkhbaatar; [2012]
    Keywords : equine genome; endogenous retrovirus; transposable elements;

    Abstract : Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are sequences that derived from ancient retroviral infections of germ cells and integrated in humans, mammals and other vertebrates millions years ago. These ERVs are inherited according to Mendelian expectations in the same way as all other genes in the genome. READ MORE

  4. 3. Analysis of the biological role of prion-related Shadoo protein on early mouse embryogenesis

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

    Author : Kadambari Chachondia; [2012]
    Keywords : Prion-family; Shadoo; Transgenesis; Mouse; Embryogenesis;

    Abstract : The prion family comprises of Prion, Shadoo and Doppel proteins, encoded by Prnp, Sprn and Prnd, respectively.Expression pattern of these genes in early mouse embryogenesis was investigated using RT-PCR experiments on FVB/N mice embryosand by in situ hybridization (HIS) at 3 early developmental stages.

  5. 4. Molecular analysis of dog and wolf genomic DNA to explore integration polymorphisms of Canine Endogenous Retroviruses, CfERV

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

    Author : MohammadReza Mirzazadeh; [2012]
    Keywords : Endogenous Retrovirus ERV ; Canine Endogenous Retrovirus CfERV ; germ line; Vertical transmission; Polymorphism; Copy Number Variation CNV ;

    Abstract : Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are found in all examined vertebrate genomes. Different mammals have been reported to contain different amounts of ERVs. For example, in the dog genome 0.15% of sequences are derived from retroviruses. READ MORE

  6. 5. Molecular systematics: data mining of canine endogenous retroviruses, CFERV

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

    Author : Marie Ekerljung; [2007]
    Keywords : DNA; germ cell; transposable elements; canine endogenous retroviruses CFERV ; horisontal contagion;

    Abstract : Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) were discovered in the 1960s and in their complete form they consist of two LTRs (long terminal repeat sequences) that are each located on either side of the chain/element. ERVs contain the following genes: gag, pro, pol and env . READ MORE
