6. On the aetiology of ALS : a comprehensive genetic study
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a deadly, progressive neuromuscular disease that affects individuals all over the world. About 10% of the patients have a familial predisposition (FALS) while the remainder of cases are isolated or sporadic (SALS) and of unknown cause. LÄS MER
7. Milk Genomics – Impact of Genetic Polymorphism on Bovine Milk Composition and Processability
Sammanfattning : Milk genomics is a new area of research that explores the relations between cow genetics and milk characteristics. Identifying the genes controlling compositional and technological traits of milk will give opportunities to select cows for targeted milk production. In this thesis, the impact of different genetic approaches, i.e. LÄS MER
8. Quantitative Trait Evolution in a Changing Environment in a Seed Beetle
Sammanfattning : During the last decades the climate has been changing more rapidly than in the preceding periods. This is for instance characterized by an increase in temperature. Interestingly, such changes in the environment are not necessarily constant over time as they often show high levels of fluctuation. LÄS MER
9. Genetic and non-genetic influences on some metabolic cardiovascular risk factors : quantitative genetic analyses
Sammanfattning : Structural-equation modeling analyses were applied to data from 302 Swedish twin pairs in order to assess the relative importance of genetic and nongenetic influences on several metabolic cardiovascular risk factors. These middle-aged and elderly twins include monozygotic and dizygotic twins reared apart and together, who came from a population-based national twin register. LÄS MER
10. Genetic dissection of quantitative traits in Scots pine
Sammanfattning : The phenotypic expressions of Scots pine, have been extensively studied over the years, but the gene regulation behind the traits has only just begun to be elucidated. The overall aim of this thesis was to start dissecting the genetics behind a number of adaptive traits in Scots pine and examine how they are influenced by relatedness using different molecular tools.
