  1. 1. Seminal Influence on the Oviduct : Mating and/or semen components induce gene expression changes in the pre-ovulatory functional sperm reservoir in poultry and pigs

    Författare :Mohammad Atikuzzaman; Heriberto Rodriguez-Martinez; Dominic Wright; Karl-Eric Magnusson; Maria Jenmalm; Matthias Laska; Patrice Humblot; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Seminal plasma; proteome peptidome; oviduct; gene expression; chicken; pig;

    Sammanfattning : Internal fertilization occurs in birds and eutherian mammals. Foetal development, however, is either extra- respectively intra-corpore (egg vs uterus). LÄS MER

  3. 2. Genomics and Transcriptomics of Behaviour and Plumage Colouration

    Författare :Jesper Fogelholm; Dominic Wright; Göran Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genomics; Transcriptomics; Behaviour; Colour; Gene Expresssion; Domestication.;

    Sammanfattning : The aim throughout this thesis has been to investigate the underlying genetics of behaviours and feather colour and plumage patterns by using chickens as a model organism. Chickens are extremely important as a food source, both in terms of egg, as well as meat production. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Quantitative genetics of gene expression and methylation in the chicken

    Författare :Andrey Höglund; Dominic Wright; Per Jensen; Rie Henriksen; Kees van Oers; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : In quantitative genetics the relationship between genetic and phenotypic variation is investigated. The identification of these variants can bring improvements to selective breeding, allow for transgenic techniques to be applied in agricultural settings and assess the risk of polygenic diseases.

  5. 4. The effects of deleterious mutations on ageing

    Författare :Martin Iinatti Brengdahl; Urban Friberg; Dominic Wright; Thomas Flatt; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ageing; Age-specific effects; Deleterious mutations; Drosophila melanogaster; Lifespan; Sex differences;

    Sammanfattning : Ageing is defined as the deterioration of an individual's physiological performance with advancing age, which leads to a decrease in reproduction and/or survival. The question why most organisms age has preoccupied humans for millennia and, over the last decades, resulted in an ever-increasing research effort to understand this phenomenon. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Genomics of chicken domestication and feralisation

    Författare :Martin Johnsson; Dominic Wright; Per Jensen; Dirk-Jan de Koning; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Domestication can serve as a study system of rapid evolutionary change with wide-ranging effects on traits in animals. The chicken was domesticated from the Red Junglefowl and has diverged in behaviour, morphology and life history traits. LÄS MER
