  1. 1. Development of a DNA barcode for species identification of tuna

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Clara Nordquist; Jonathan Edwall; Leonora Eriksson; Nelly Mäkinen; Minna Sayehban; Matilda Styfberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Thunnini; D-loop; mitochondrial control region; CR; 16S; ATP8; COII; Cox2; CytB; COI; Cox1; ND2; NADH dehydrogenase 2;

    Abstract : Today, DNA-barcoding with the gene COI is regularly used in the identification of fish. However, this is not an adequate way of identifying species of tuna due to COI lacking sufficient interspecies divergence. This is problematic since fraud and mislabeling are a major concern within the fish and tuna industries. READ MORE

  3. 2. Spatially resolved gene expression profiling of mouse brain tissue to study the impact of spaceflights

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Paula Frieberg; [2021]
    Keywords : spaceflight; space biologu; Spatial Transcriptomics; mouse brain tissue; mitochondria;

    Abstract : Since the first human spaceflight in 1961, hundreds of humans have been in space. Microgravity and high radiation are the main spaceflight hazards. The space environment is known to impact several aspects of human health, such as bone density and cognitive performance. READ MORE

  4. 3. Genetic diversity of North Ethiopian indigenous sheep populations using mitochondrial DNA

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

    Author : Mulata H. Adhena; [2018]
    Keywords : sheep; mitochondria; Ethiopia;

    Abstract : This study was aimed to investigate the haplotype variations and maternal origin of four sheep populations (Highland, Abergelle, Elle and Begait) of North Ethiopia. A 1088 bp of the mtDNA control region was amplified using specific primers and the polymerase chain reaction was performed. The PCR products were purified and sequenced. READ MORE

  5. 4. Effect of the habitat fragmentation on the Grévy’s zebra population genetic structure

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Leili Khalatbari; [2013]
    Keywords : Grévy’s zebra; Genetic diversity; Conservation; Ethiopia;

    Abstract : The exponential growth of the human population is limiting the wildlife habitat all around the word. In recent years habitat loss and fragmentation is one of the main reasons that threats the wild life species. The Grévy’s zebra (Equus grevyi) is the most endangered member of Zebras. READ MORE
