  1. 16. Optimisation of autoencoders for prediction of SNPs determining phenotypes in wheat

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Karthik Nair; [2021]
    Keywords : Deep Learning; Machine Learning; Convolutional Neural Networks; Convolutional Variational Autoencoders; Autoencoders; SNP-Phenotype relationships; Genetics; Agricultural Bioinformatics; Neural Networks; Unsupervised Learning;

    Abstract : The increase in demand for food has resulted in increased demand for tools that help streamline plant breeding process in order to create new varieties of crops. Identifying the underlying genetic mechanism of favourable characteristics is essential in order to make the best breeding decisions. READ MORE

  3. 17. Genetic mapping on local Swedish chicken breeds

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

    Author : Samrawit Tsehay Gebeyehu; [2021]
    Keywords : chicken; genetic diversity; GWAS; plumage color; SNP; Swedish chicken breed;

    Abstract : Today, genetic studies are gaining popularity around the world, especially in the developed world. The study of genetic diversity is the basis for genetic protection and future breed improvement. READ MORE

  4. 18. Effect of ascertainment bias on calculations of sex-biased admixture in Southern Africa

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Ragnheidur Diljá Ásmundsdóttir; [2021]
    Keywords : Evolutionary Biology; Population Genomics; Human Evolution;

    Abstract : Southern African populations harbour great genetic diversity enhanced by  population migration to the area in the last two millennia. Africa is perhaps the least studied continent in regards to population genetics and is often underrepresented in global studies. READ MORE

  5. 19. Vicia faba determinate and indeterminate inflorescence genotypes : comparison of genetic variation at TFL1 locus

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Jenny Östberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Faba bean; growth habit; TERMINAL FLOWER1; genetic marker; legume; mutant;

    Abstract : Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) plants usually express an indeterminate inflorescence growth habit regulated by the gene TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1) which allows the apical meristem to continuously produce new vegetative and reproductive plant parts. In turn, this prolongs the growth and flowering period and causes an uneven ripening of the pods. READ MORE

  6. 20. The role of RFX-target genes in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Abhishekapriya Ganesan; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and psychiatric disorders, for example, schizophrenia (SCZ) represent a large spectrum of disorders that manifest through cognitive and behavioural problems. ASD and SCZ are both highly heritable, and some phenotypic similarities between ASD and SCZ have sparked an interest in understanding their genetic commonalities. READ MORE
