  1. 1. Genetic consequences of translocations in the Doñana population of the endangered Iberian lynx

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Gaia Mora; [2024]
    Keywords : Conservation Genetics; Iberian lynx conservation; endangered species; species conservation;

    Abstract : Conservation genetics for endangered species is crucial in long-term conservation actions.Inbreeding depression and genetic diversity are main genetic parameters with relevance toconservation. The Iberian lynx was by 2002 the most endangered felid in the world. 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

  5. 4. Exploring the genetic cause of myotonic dystrophy in horses

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

    Author : Thomas Simon; [2023]
    Keywords : genetics; bioinformatics; myotonic dystrophy; horses; variant analysis;

    Abstract : Myotonic Dystrophy (MD) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder that leads to a wide range of clinical signs including stiffness, abnormal muscle relaxation, and muscle atrophy or hypertrophy. Affected muscles develop a prolonged contracture in response to percussion of the muscle and show waxing and waning complex repetitive discharges in electromyography (EMG). READ MORE
