  1. 6. Genome wide association study of milk composition traits in Swedish Red cows

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

    Author : Yohannes Goitom Tesfayonas; [2014]
    Keywords : Milk composition; single nucleotide polymorphism SNP ; GWAS;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to detect QTLs that affect milk composition traits such as fat yield, fat percent, citric acid, free fatty acids as well as milk properties like fat globule size, and determine the phenotypic variation explained by the QTLs. These traits play a crucial role in nutritional and technological properties of milk and its products. READ MORE

  3. 7. Gener som påverkar mjölkens sammansättning hos ko

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

    Author : Isabelle Hultdin; [2014]
    Keywords : Mjölksammansättning; DGAT1; LEP; LEPR; avel;

    Abstract : Mjölk är en komplex blandning där de huvudsakliga komponenterna är vatten, laktos, fett och protein. Laktosmängden är den komponent som varierar minst mellan raser och påverkar mängden mjölk mest. Fett- och proteinmängden uppvisar störst skillnad mellan raser och bi-drar till stor del till att mjölk är ett så näringsrikt livsmedel. READ MORE

  4. 8. Isolation and evaluation of different wheat-rye translocation lines obtained from a disease resistant double translocation line with 1BL/1RS and 2RL/2BS

    University essay from SLU/Plant Breeding and Biotechnology (until 121231)

    Author : Mahbubjon Rahmatov; [2012]
    Keywords : C-banding; coleoptile colour; resistance; Simple Sequence Repeats; stem rust; translocation; wheat-rye; yellow rust;

    Abstract : Wheat-rye translocations involving 1RS and 2RL of rye are the most useful sources of genes for disease resistance in wheat breeding. Rye genes are known to control resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. READ MORE

  5. 9. Fine mapping of autoimmune diseases in chicken

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

    Author : Utlwanang Mosupiemang; [2012]
    Keywords : Chicken; autoimmune disease; animal models; systemic sclerosis; vitiligo;

    Abstract : Autoimmune diseases arise due to tolerance breakdown or failure of the body's immune system to establish tolerance leading to the body failing to recognize its own tissues and organs as self. Systemic sclerosis is a disease of the connective tissue characterized by immunological abnormalities and increased deposition of extracellular matrix proteins in the skin. READ MORE

  6. 10. The genetic basis of a domestication trait in the chicken: mapping quantitative trait loci for plumage colour

    University essay from Biologi; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Md. Nazmul Huq; [2012]
    Keywords : qtl; quantitative trait loci; genome scan; qtl analysis; plumage colour; domestication trait; chicken; pigmentation trait;

    Abstract : Domestication is the process by which animals become adapted to the environment provided by humans. The process of domestication has let to a number of correlated behavioural, morphological and physiological changes among many domesticated animal species. An example is the changes of plumage colour in the chicken. READ MORE
