2. 1. The Genetics of Speciation and Colouration in Carrion and Hooded Crows

   Author : Jelmer Poelstra; Jochen Wolf; Hans Ellegren; Chris Jiggins; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; evolutionary genetics; genomics; birds; next-generation sequencing; pigmentation; pigmentation genetics; eumelanin; social selection; gene expression; population genomics; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

   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. READ MORE

4. 2. Molecular genetics and mechanisms of pigmentation and melanoma

   Author : Elisabeth Sundström; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Ever since man domesticated the first wild animals several thousand years ago, many species have been living in close relationship with humans, being objects for our requests and wishes about any kind of phenotypic traits. As a result, we have by selective breeding created a fascinating spectrum of phenotypes within most species we have domesticated. READ MORE

5. 3. Genetic and Genomic Studies in Chicken : Assigning Function to Vertebrate Genes

   Author : Jonas Eriksson; Leif Andersson; Greger Larson; Göran Hjälm; Tosso Leeb; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Chicken; BCO2; TSHR; COMTD1; Phenotypic variation; Domestication; Selective sweeps; Pigmentation; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

   Abstract : A major challenge in the post-genomic era is to understand how genome sequence variants (genotype) give rise to the enormous diversity observed in terms of morphology, physiology and behavior (phenotype) among living organisms. Domestic animals—with their tremendous phenotypic variation—are excellent model organisms for determining the relationships between genotype and phenotype. READ MORE

6. 4. Genomic dynamics over contemporary time frames in wild salmonid populations

   Author : Sara Kurland; Linda Laikre; Kathryn Elmer; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Conservation genomics; genetic monitoring; whole-genome sequencing; metapopulation; salmonid; brown trout; effective population size; Pool-seq; genetic connectivity; intraspecific diversity; sympatric populations; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

   Abstract : Genetic diversity is the foundation of all biological variation. An approach for sustainable use and protection of genetic diversity is continuous sampling over space and time, i.e. monitoring. READ MORE

7. 5. Molecular biomarkers in melanoma susceptibility and therapy response

   Author : Muyi Yang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Melanoma accounts for the majority of the mortality from all types of skin cancers. Five to ten percent of the cases are familial melanoma, yet more than 50% of the melanoma families cannot be explained by established susceptibility genes. READ MORE
