11. Genetic Studies of Immunological Diseases in Dogs and Humans
Abstract : This thesis presents genetic studies aiming at enlarging our knowledge regarding the genetic factors underlying two immune-mediated diseases, hypothyroidism and autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD), in dogs and humans, respectively.Genetic and environmental factors are indicated to contribute to canine hypothyroidism, which can be considered a model for human Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT).

12. The Genetics of Speciation and Colouration in Carrion and Hooded Crows
Abstract : A fundamental goal in biological research is to gain an understanding of the evolutionary processes and genetic elements that drive speciation. Genes responsible for reproductive isolation in young divergent lineages are particularly poorly known. In this thesis, the speciation genetics of carrion (Corvus (corone) corone) and hooded (C.

13. Population genomic analyses of regulatory variation and selection in Brassicaceae species
Abstract : The impact of selection on regulatory variation and the contribution of regulatory changes to phenotypic variation has long been debated in evolutionary genetics. Because cis-regulatory elements such as promoters and enhancers can be difficult to identify, it has been more challenging to quantify the impact of selection on variation in cis-regulatory regions than in protein-coding regions.

14. Exploring genetic diversity in natural and domestic populations through next generation sequencing
Abstract : Studying genetic diversity in natural and domestic populations is of major importance in evolutionary biology. The recent advent of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has dramatically changed the scope of these studies, enabling researchers to study genetic diversity in a whole-genome context.

15. Defense gene responses toward necrotrophic fungi in Arabidopsis thaliana
Abstract : Leptosphaeria maculans an ascomycete in the diverse class of Dothideomycetes, is an devastating pathogen on Brassica crops. In this thesis, tools and knowledge in Arabidopsis thaliana was explored to enhance our knowledge on plant defense to this fungus. Mechanisms that to large extent are shared with other necrotrophic fungi. READ MORE
