2. 21. Methods and applications in DNA sequence alignments

   Author : Ellen Sherwood; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : DNA sequence alignment; CNV; Chicken; Trypanosoma cruzi.;

   Abstract : DNA sequence alignment is one of the most common bioinformatics tasks. Alignment analysis for eukaryotic genomes is challenging because the datasets are large. Repeat sequences also make the analysis difficult. This thesis describes new methods which we have developed for DNA sequence alignment that address these problems. READ MORE

4. 22. Statistical methods for the detection and analyses of structural variants in the human genome

   Author : Shu Mei Teo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Structural variations (SVs) are an important and abundant source of variation in the human genome, encompassing a greater proportion of the genome as compared to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This thesis investigates different aspects of SV analysis, focusing on copy number variations (CNVs) and regions of homozygosity (ROHs). READ MORE

6. 24. Birch Stem and Wood Traits in Genetic and Silviculture Trials in Southern Sweden

   Author : Grace Jones; Stergios Adamopoulos; Mateusz Liziniewicz; Mikael Andersson; Sheikh Ali Ahmed; Erkki Verkasalo; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; acoustic velocity; Betula spp.; dynamic MOE; genetic parameters; grain angle; hardwood; Itrax densitometry; mixed forests; non-destructive testing; stem form; akustisk velocitet; Betula spp.; blandskog; densitometri; genetiska parametrar; icke destruktiva metoder; Itrax; lövträ; skogsodling; stamkvalitet; vedsegenskaper; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

   Abstract : Swedish tree species of birch (silver: Betula pendula and downy: B. pubescens) are often neglected during forest management activities, resulting in low value logs. This thesis investigated birch stem characteristics and wood properties important for solid wood products, in genetics and management trials in southern Sweden. READ MORE

7. 25. Coated Norway Spruce : Influence of Wood Characteristics on Water Sorption and Coating Durability

   Author : Tinh Sjökvist; Åsa Blom; Carsten Mai; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Heartwood; Sapwood; Wood extractives; Moisture content; Paint; Alkyd; Acrylic; Linseed oil; Calcimine paint; Mould; Fungi; Algae; Weathering; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

   Abstract : Wood used outdoors is often degraded and discoloured by microorganisms as a natural part of its life cycle, particularly when exposed to high levels of moisture for prolonged times. In this case, the application of a coating (i.e. paint) is an option for increasing the service life of the wood. READ MORE
