  1. 1. Population genetic history and patterns of admixture : Examples from northeastern and southern Africa

    Författare :Nina Hollfelder; Mattias Jakobsson; Michele Ramsay; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; population structure; genetic admixture; genomic variation; Africa; population genomics; lactase persistence; sex-biased admixture; human evolutionary genetics; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Organismal Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär organismbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The origin of humans lies in Africa, as has been shown by archaeology, paleontology and genetics. Here, we can find the largest genetic diversity and the deepest split among human populations. African genetic diversity has been shaped by a long and complex history. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Fishing the gene pool : Genetic structure, admixture and behavioural complexity in fisheries management

    Författare :Kim H. Berndt; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fisheries management; Fishery stock; Stock discrimination; Genetic structure; Genetic admixture; Admixture zone; Stock substructure; Phenotypic divergence; Gadus morhua; Salmo trutta;

    Sammanfattning : Prudent management of marine fish resources relies on separation and management of biologically meaningful groups of conspecifics, termed fishery stocks, often depicted as self-sustaining, spatiotemporally separated and demographically independent entities. Such stock discrimination has however proven challenging. LÄS MER

  4. 3. From the migrations of herders and farmers to the colonial era and the modern-day : Genetic inferences on African demographic history

    Författare :Rickard Hammarén; Mattias Jakobsson; Carina Schlebusch; Torsten Günther; Luca Pagani; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; admixture; African demography; human evolutionary genetics; population structure; sex-biased admixture; Africa; population genetics; Biology with Specialisation in Human Evolution and Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot människans evolution och genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Africa is the birthplace of the human species and home to great linguistic, cultural, and genetic diversity. Despite this, the genetics of the peoples of the continent remains understudied. In this thesis, I apply population genetic approaches, to contribute to the knowledge of human demographic history in Africa. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Gene transfer by interspecific hybridization in bryophytes

    Författare :Weerachon Sawangproh; Biodiversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; homozygote; heterozygote; admixture; single nucleotide polymorphism; STRUCTURE; PCoA; hybrid index; inbreeding; outbreeding; hybrid depression; heterosis; phylogeny; purging selection; genetic purging; genotype; phenotype; sympatry; allopatry;

    Sammanfattning : The role of hybridization in evolution has been debated for more than a century regarding bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts) as well as most other organisms. Bryophytes have haplodiplontic life cycles with a dominant haploid generation. LÄS MER

  7. 5. People of the Dolmens and Stone Cists : An archaeogenetic Investigation of Megalithic Graves from the Neolithic Period on Gotland

    Författare :Magdalena Fraser; Kjel Knutsson; Mattias Jakobsson; Paul Wallin; Anders Götherström; Per Åke Persson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; archaeology; aDNA; ancient genomics; archaeogenetics; mtDNA; osteology; radiocarbon dating; Strontium; Carbon; Nitrogen; TRB; PWC; BAC; CWC; dolmen; stone cist; population demography; diet; mobility; cultural duality; admixture; kinship; Neolithic period; Early Bronze Age; Europe; Baltic Sea area; Scandinavia; Gotland; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : The study of ancient genomics of pre-historic human remains has in recent years offered unprecedented knowledge regarding pre-historic migration and population structure on the European continent which has fundamentally altered the current views in the archaeological community. However, the merging of the two fields, archaeology and genetics, is still in its infancy and much work is still needed in order for these fields to integrate. LÄS MER
