  2. 21. Embracing the data flood : integrating diverse data to improve phenotype association discovery in forest trees

    Author : Bastian Schiffthaler; Nathaniel Street; Martin Rosvall; Nicolas Delhomme; Marek Mutwil; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systems Biology; Association Discovery; Genomics; Transcriptomics; Genome Assembly; Gene Networks; Forest Tree; Aspen; Spruce; biology; biologi;

    Abstract : Complex traits represent valuable research targets as many highly desirable properties of plants and animals (such as growth rate and height) fall into this group. However, associating biological markers with these traits is incredibly challenging, in part due to their small effect sizes. READ MORE

  4. 22. Mapping and fine-mapping of genetic factors affecting bovine milk composition

    Author : Sandrine Duchemin; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Bovine milk is an important source of nutrients in Western diets. Unraveling the genetic background of bovine milk composition by finding genes associated with milk-fat composition and non-coagulation of milk were the main goals of this thesis. In Chapter 1, a brief description of phenotypes and genotypes used throughout the thesis is given. READ MORE

  5. 23. Simultaneous localization and mapping with robots

    Author : John Folkesson; Henrik I. Christensen; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computer science; Computer science; Datalogi;

    Abstract : A fundamental competence of any mobile robot system is the ability to remain localized while operating in an environment. For unknown/partially known environments there is a need to combine localization with automatic mapping to facilitate the localization process. READ MORE

  6. 24. Mapping genetic diseases in northern Sweden

    Author : Elisabet Einarsdottir; Dan Holmberg; Gösta Holmgren; Ulf Gyllensten; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; isolated populations; linkage disequilibrium; linkage analysis; genome-wide scan; hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy; type 1 diabetes mellitus; type 2 diabetes mellitus; autoimmune thyroid disease; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

    Abstract : The population of northern Sweden has previously been shown to be well suited for the mapping of monogenic diseases. In this thesis we have tested the hypothesis that this population could also be used for efficient identification of risk genes for common diseases. READ MORE

  7. 25. Susceptibility gene mapping in multiple sclerosis

    Author : Bing He; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by relapsing or progressive demyelination of the central nervous system (CNS). Increasing evidence supports that genetic factors confer susceptibility to MS resulting in an unknown mode of inheritance as a complex trait. READ MORE
