Assessing the genetic diversity conserved in the Norwegian live poultry genebank
Brekke, Cathrine; Groeneveld, Linn Fenne; Meuwissen, Theodorus; Sæther, Nina Alvilde Hovden; Weigend, Steffen; Berg, Peer (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The aim of this study was to evaluate genetic diversity within and between lines at the Norwegian live poultry gene bank as well as assessing the conservation value in an international context. Eight lines including the ... -
Genetic characterization of a small closed island population of Norwegian coastal goat
Berg, Peer; Groeneveld, Linn Fenne; Brekke, Cathrine; Våge, Dag Inge; Sørheim, Kristin; Grøva, Lise (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Norwegian coastal goat is a national and endangered breed. Coastal goat populations are mainly divided with a large mainland and two small island populations. The objective of this study is to describe genetic diversity ... -
Genetic diversity in five chicken lines from the Norwegian live poultry gene bank
Brekke, Cathrine (Master thesis, 2017)Since 1995, there has been no active breeding of commercial egg layers in Norway. The last active breeding lines, as well as other breeds of conservation value are conserved in the Norwegian live poultry gene bank. The aim ... -
Genetic variation in recombination rates and genetic shuffling in pigs, cattle and Atlantic salmon
Brekke, Cathrine (PhD Thesis;2022:17, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Meiotic recombination ensures proper segregation of homologues chromosomes in meiosis while also breaking down linkage disequilibrium and creating novel haplotypes by shuffling alleles of genes located on the same chromosome. ... -
Recombination rates in pigs differ between breeds, sexes and individuals, and are associated with the RNF212, SYCP2, PRDM7, MEI1 and MSH4 loci
Brekke, Cathrine; Berg, Peer; Gjuvsland, Arne Bjørke; Johnston, Susan E. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Strategiplan for Genbanken for verpehøns 2018-2027
Sæther, Nina Alvilde Hovden; Kathle, Jessica; Brekke, Cathrine; Groeneveld, Linn F; Berg, Peer; Cathle, Jessica (NIBIO Rapport, Research report, 2018)Strategiplanen oppsummerer Genbanken for verpehøns sitt samfunnsoppdrag de neste ti årene som vurderes å ha tre hovedkomponenter; 1) Sikre genetikken i den eneste norske hønserasen jærhøna og de fire verpehønslinjene som ... -
