1. Exploring the genetic cause of myotonic dystrophy in horses
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : 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

3. A bear-y strong comeback: Investigating temporal genomic consequences of a recent demographic bottleneck in the Scandinavian brown bear
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : The Scandinavian brown bear went through a severe bottleneck due to human actions in the early 1900’s that reduced the population to low numbers. After protective measures were taken, the population recovered and today it consists of around 3000 individuals. READ MORE

4. The battle against sepsis : exploring the genotypic diversity of pseudomonas and proteus clinical isolates
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskapAbstract : Sepsis is a dangerous and potentially fatal condition that has a mysterious origin, underscoring the significance of prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment. Bacterial whole-genome sequencing, which is widely used in clinical microbiology, stands at the forefront of sequencing technologies, particularly to combat sepsis. READ MORE

5. Developing a reproducible bioinformatics workflow for canine inherited retinal disease
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Inherited Retinal Degenerations (IRDs) are a heterogenous group of diseases which lead to vision impairment and can be found both in humans and in dogs. About 1 in 1,380 humans is estimated to suffer from an autosomal recessive IRD, which would be 5.5 million people worldwide, and many more are estimated to be unaffected carriers. READ MORE
