1. 11. Exploring Swedish Oat (Avena sativa) Genetic History - from AD 1440 to today

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Amanda Raud Westberg; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Oats (Avena sativa) have been one of the most important cereals in Swedish crop history, completely dominating domestic cereal production in the 19th and early 20th centuries. During this time, oats were mainly used as horse feed and since then, production has decreased with decreased use of horses. READ MORE

3. 12. 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

4. 13. Characterization of co-infections and minor variants of BK polyomavirus in clinical sample by NGS

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Safia Khatoon; [2020]
   Keywords : BK polyomavirus; Co-infection; Mutation; Kidney transplant; Next generation sequencing;

   Abstract : BK polyomavirus (BKV) is associated with urinary apparatus pathogenesis in kidney transplant recipient. Immune suppression triggers BKV reactivation that potentially causes polyomavirus associated nephropathy (PVAN), a major post-transplant problem causes graft rejection. READ MORE

5. 14. Coverage Analysis in Clinical Next-Generation Sequencing

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Anna Odelgard; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : With the new way of sequencing by NGS new tools had to be developed to be able to work with new data formats and to handle the larger data sizes compared to the previous techniques but also to check the accuracy of the data. Coverage analysis is one important quality control for NGS data, the coverage indicates how many times each base pair has been sequenced and thus how trustworthy each base call is. READ MORE

6. 15. Evaluation of next-generation sequencing as a tool for determining the presence of pathogens in clinical samples

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Alexander Kokkonen; [2019]
   Keywords : NGS; next generation sequencing; clinical microbiology; systems biology;

   Abstract : Metagenomic sequencing is an increasingly popular way of determining microbial diversity from environmental and clinical samples. By specifically targeting the 16S rRNA gene found in all bacteria, classifications of pathogens can be determined based on the variable and conserved regions found in the gene. READ MORE
