Genetic analysis of lifespan in Irish wolfhounds
(Master thesis, 2021)Irish Wolfhounds are an ancient and large dog breed. Their lifespan is an average of 7 years only, which is associated with their size. The genetics behind the short lifespan and the combination with different known diseases ... -
Genetic and molecular basis of calcium influence on the production of carotenoids in Mucor circinelloides
(Master thesis, 2023)Karotenoider er høyt verdsatte metabolitter, på grunn av deres mangfoldige, kommersielle bruksområder i mat, fôr og kosmetisk industri. Spesielt karotenoider produsert av sopp er av bioteknologisk interesse på grunn av ... -
Genetic linkage mapping and the detection of SNB resistance QTLs in Avocet x T9040 wheat field trials in the period 2012-2022
(Master thesis, 2023)With the large scientific strides made in recent years when it comes to genome sequencing, techniques for plant breeding based on genomic data is on the rise. With the ever-changing environment and the increase of ... -
Genetic variation in egg traits and early survival in rainbow trout
(Master thesis, 2021)In farmed rainbow trout a large part of fertilized and incubated eggs and alevins are lost from fertilization until first feeding. The present study was conducted to estimate the overall means of different egg traits and ... -
Genetic variation in relation to stress from computed tomography in Norsvin Landrace pigs
(Master thesis, 2019)Resilience towards stress is an important trait as it has implications for animal welfare, and can reduce labour costs. Though some traits included in breeding programs cover disease resilience, general resilience towards ... -
Genetic variation in susceptibility of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) to salmon lice, Lepeophtherius salmonis, from field and challenge tests
(Master thesis, 2018)Sea lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis (L. salmonis) is the major threats for Norwegian salmon farming industry and the cost of the parasite was estimated to be around five billion NOK per year. Chemical treatments have been ... -
Genetisk analyse av egenskaper fra eksteriørbedømmelse av islandshest på unghestskue og senere utstillinger
(Master thesis, 2022)Denne oppgaven ble formulert etter et ønske fra Norsk Islandshestforening. Hovedmålet med studien var å undersøke om noen av hestene som møtte på unghestskue i 2009 – 2011 hadde blitt stilt ut flere ganger, og om det var ... -
Genetisk analyse av utvikling i kroppsvekt frå lam til vaksen søye hjå norsk kvit sau : utnytting av eksisterande informasjon om slaktevekter
(Master thesis, 2019)Norsk saueavl har i lengre tid hatt sterkt fokus på å auke lammetal og -tilvekst. Dette har ført til at søyene har vorte større og tyngre. Føremålet med denne oppgåva var studere vektutviklinga frå lam til utvaksen søye ... -
Genetisk studie av eksteriør på bein hos nasjonale hesteraser
(Master thesis, 2020)Avlsarbeidet til de nasjonale rasene dølahest, fjordhest og nordlandshest/lyngshest er basert på fenotypeseleksjon. Vurderingen av avlsdyr gjøres på utstilling basert på en bedømming hvor egenskapene bedømmes på en skala ... -
Genetisk variasjon og clusteranalyse på bakgrunn av slektskapsdata hjå dølahest
(Master thesis, 2017)Formålet med denne oppgåva var å analysere genetisk variasjon hjå dølahesten, å sjå på slektskapsstruktur i rasen ved hjelp av clusteranalyse, samt å sjå på moglegheiter for gode strategiar for berekraftig avl i framtida. ... -
Genome-wide association study of resistance to cardiomyopathy syndrome (CMS) in Atlantic salmon (Salmon salar L.)
(Master thesis, 2019)Cardiomyopathy syndrome (CMS) is considered as a serious viral disease in Norwegian farmed Atlantic salmon. Outbreaks of the disease occur without any observable signs and CMS primarily affects adult salmon. In 2011, piscine ... -
