  2. 6. Quantitative genetics of Norway spruce in Sweden

    Author : Zhiqiang Chen; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Genetic improvement of solid wood and pulp and paper products related wood quality traits are important to increase productivity and value of Norway spruce plantation in Sweden. To incorporate wood quality traits into Norway spruce tree breeding program, genetic parameters of solid wood and fibre traits were investigated in a large Norway spruce population. READ MORE

  4. 7. Two Optimization Problems in Genetics : Multi-dimensional QTL Analysis and Haplotype Inference

    Author : Carl Nettelblad; Sverker Holmgren; José M. Álvarez-Castro; Jukka Corander; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantitative trait loci; genome-wide association studies; hidden Markov models; numerical optimization; linkage analysis; haplotype inference; genotype imputation; high performance computing;

    Abstract : The existence of new technologies, implemented in efficient platforms and workflows has made massive genotyping available to all fields of biology and medicine. Genetic analyses are no longer dominated by experimental work in laboratories, but rather the interpretation of the resulting data. READ MORE

  5. 8. Genetic analysis of autoimmune diseases using animal models : Mapping susceptibility genes for multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis

    Author : Hai-Tao Yang; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Collagen induced arthritis CIA ; Experimental allergic encephalomyelities EAE ; Multiple sclerosis MS ; Quantitative trait loci QTL ; Rheumatoid arthritis RA ; Linkage analysis; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Medical Genetics; medicinsk genetik;

    Abstract : Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis are common human diseasesaffecting 1% and 0.1% of the population respectively. These diseases are characterized by abnormal self-tolerance in the immune system and autoimmune reactions. READ MORE

  6. 9. Linkage maps in studies of genetic variation - examples from Beta vulgaris

    Author : Thomas Kraft; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cytogenetics; Genetics; Beta vulgaris; Linkage maps; genetic variation; Genetik; cytogenetik;

    Abstract : Today, most studies of genetic variation utilise molecular markers, making it possible to detect variation at the DNA level. This has greatly facilitated studies of genetic variation in population and evolutionary genetics, systematics and transmission genetics. READ MORE

  7. 10. Quantitative genetics of gene expression and methylation in the chicken

    Author : Andrey Höglund; Dominic Wright; Per Jensen; Rie Henriksen; Kees van Oers; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In quantitative genetics the relationship between genetic and phenotypic variation is investigated. The identification of these variants can bring improvements to selective breeding, allow for transgenic techniques to be applied in agricultural settings and assess the risk of polygenic diseases.
