  2. 1. Consequences of the Domestication of Man’s Best Friend, The Dog

    Author : Susanne Björnerfeldt; Carles Vilà; Elena Jazin; Daniel Bradley; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular genetics; mitochondrial genome; Y chromosome; microsatellites; disruptive selection; breed structure; whole genome amplification; gene flow; linkage disequilibrium; Canis familiaris; Canis lupus; Genetik;

    Abstract : The dog was the first animal to be domesticated and the process started at least 15 000 years ago. Today it is the most morphologically diverse mammal, with a huge variation in size and shape. READ MORE

  4. 2. Ecology of red admiral migration

    Author : Oskar Brattström; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nymphalidae; Lepidoptera; migration patterns; migration; genetic structure; AFLP; lipid content; Inachis io; stable isotopes; orientation; navigation; weather; Animal ecology; red admiral; Vanessa atalanta; Djurekologi;

    Abstract : The red admiral (Vanessa atalanta) is a migratory butterfly that can be found in North America, North Africa, Europe and some parts of Asia. In Europe the main part of the population spend winter in the Mediterranean region and the following spring leave this area to breed further to the north. READ MORE

  5. 3. Population structure and phenotypic characterization as a basis for conservation and sustainable use of Reyna Creole Cattle in Nicaragua

    Author : Roldan Corrales; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The Reyna Creole cattle in Nicaragua is a local breed originating from the Bos taurus cattle brought to Latin America during the Spanish colonization in the fifteenth century. Reyna Creole cattle are today found in five herds. The primary use of the breed is to produce milk. The breed comprises about 650 purebred female animals. READ MORE

  6. 4. Discovery of a novel pathway for an SLE-related disease complex in the canine breed Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever

    Author : Maria Wilbe; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The dog is an excellent model to study inherited complex diseases, due to its unique population history and haplotype structure. In this thesis, dogs from the breed Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever (NSDTR) have been used as a model for defining the genetic factors controlling a systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-related disorder called immune-mediated rheumatic disease (IMRD) and a steroid responsive meningitis-arteritis (SRMA).

  7. 5. Bioinformatics mining for disease causing mutations : using the dog genome as a model for human disease

    Author : Katarina Truvé; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Humans and dogs share many common diseases, and it has been shown that the identification of mutations that cause disease in dogs can help unravel the genetic basis for a similar disease in humans. Mapping of traits and disease in dogs is not a new idea, but the sequencing of the whole dog genome, the creation of a dense SNP maps followed by the development of SNP arrays for high throughput genotyping has led to new facilitated mapping procedures.
