  2. 16. Hydrodynamic and Microbiological Modelling of Water Quality in Drinking Water Sources

    Author : Ekaterina Sokolova; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ECO Lab; Bacteroidales; inactivation; microcosm experiment; fate and transport modelling; pathogens; microbial source tracking; MIKE 3; faecal indicators;

    Abstract : Faecal contamination of drinking water sources poses risks for waterborne disease outbreaks. To manage these risks the fate and transport of faecal contamination in a drinking water source need to be understood and quantitatively described. READ MORE

  4. 17. Genome Variation in Human Populations : Exploring the Effects of Demographic History and the Potential for Mapping of Complex Traits

    Author : Åsa Johansson; Ulf Gyllensten; Marta Alarcon; Andrew Clark; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Genetics; genetics; evolution; microsatellie; SNP; selection; linkage disequilibrium; haplotype; Genetik;

    Abstract : A major challenge in human genetics is to understand the genetic variation underlying common diseases. In this thesis, I focus on forces creating differences between individuals and genomic regions, methods for characterizing genomic variation, and the association between genomic and phenotypic variation.

  5. 18. Crossing barriers: Genetic consequences of translocating wild cleaner fish for aquaculture

    Author : Ellika Faust; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; conservation genetics; population genetics; aquaculture escapee; hybridisation; corkwing wrasse; lumpfish; cleaner fish translocation; sea lice; range expansion; fishery management;

    Abstract : Several species of fish show a symbiotic cleaning behaviour, where they assist other species by feeding and removing dead skin or ectoparasites. Some of these cleaner fish species are used as a low-cost parasite control in salmon aquaculture, often considered to be more environmentally friendly than other delousing methods. READ MORE

  6. 19. Conservation Genetics of Wolves and their Relationship with Dogs

    Author : Anna-Karin Sundqvist; Carles Vilà; Hans Ellegren; Michael K Schwartz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular genetics; mtDNA; Y chromosome; microsatellites; breed; hybridization; domestication; introgression; predation; Genetik; Canis lupus; Canis familiaris;

    Abstract : Management of wolves is a complex issue, and molecular genetics is an important tool in this work. Molecular genetics can provide important information at the species, population and individual level, which can be essential for the development of management programs aiming at the long term survival of wolf populations.

  7. 20. A computational and statistical framework for cost-effective genotyping combining pooling and imputation

    Author : Camille Clouard; Carl Nettelblad; Christine Baes; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The information conveyed by genetic markers, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), has been widely used in biomedical research to study human diseases and is increasingly valued in agriculture for genomic selection purposes. Specific markers can be identified as a genetic signature that correlates with certain characteristics in a living organism, e. READ MORE
