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 ... -
Genome-wide association study of the genetic basis for resistance to IPNV in rainbow trout
(Master thesis, 2022)Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis (IPN), caused by the IPN virus, is one of the major threats to the Norwegian rainbow trout (NRT) industry. Despite disinfection, effective management, traditional breeding programs, and efforts ... -
Genomic architecture and complex traits in norwegian red cattle
(PhD Thesis;2010:50, Doctoral thesis, 2010)The predominant cattle breed in Norway, Norwegian Red cattle (NRF), is an admixed breed formed from local Norwegian breeds and imported animals from other Nordic breeds. The extensive phenotypic records for NRF represent ... -
Genomic methods in breeding programs: Parental assignment, triploid genomics and case-parental control modelling
(Phd Thesis;2021:7, Doctoral thesis, 2021)The use of high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotypes enables us to perform highly accurate parentage assignment. However, dependence between loci often results in using a subset of the data to obtain ... -
Genomic prediction using high-density and whole-genome sequence genotypes
(Phd Thesis;2022:33, Doctoral thesis, 2022)The main objective of this thesis was to investigate genomic prediction methods for high-density and whole-genome sequence genotypes, with emphasis on traits that may have difficulties achieving a high prediction accuracy ... -
Genomic predictions including known QTL for reproduction traits in swine
(Master thesis, 2016)Breeding values are the fundament on which the selection of the next generation is based on and should therefore be as reliable as possible. The implementation of marker-assisted selection (MAS), where major genes are ... -
Genomic responses of salmonids to pathogenic agents and nutritional interventions
(PhD Thesis;2009:43, Doctoral thesis, 2009)Aquaculture exposes salmonid fish to diverse stressors, including pathogens and inadequate nutrition. The identification of molecular basis underlying compromised health and growth caused by these factors is confounded by ... -
Genomic structural variations as drivers of adaptation in salmonid fishes
(PhD Thesis;2023:26, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Structural variations (SVs), e.g. deletions, insertions, inversions and duplications of sequences, are a major source of genomic variation affecting more base pairs in the genome than single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). ... -
Genomics exploring population structure and sex determination in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(PhD Thesis;2019:102, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is a benthopelagic cold-water marine species found across the North Atlantic Ocean. Thanks to its historical and current significance as an important food resource it is one of the most well-known ... -
Genomics of bovine milk fat composition
(PhD Thesis;2018:19, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Bovine milk is a highly regarded food source. Still, some milk fatty acids may have unfavourable health effects and can influence manufacturing properties of dairy products. Individual milk fatty acids show moderate ... -
Genomiske avlsverdier for kjøttproduksjonsegenskaper hos Norsk Rødt Fe
(Master thesis, 2016-08-18)Norsk Rødt Fe (NRF), som er den mest brukte rasen i Norge, har gode både melke- og kjøttproduksjonsegenskaper. Kjøttproduksjonsegenskaper er viktig egenskapsgruppe som har vært vektlagt i alvsmålet til NRF siden starten. ... -
Genotype by environment interaction for sexual maturity in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Master thesis, 2015-08-07)Genetic parameters and genotype by environment interactions were estimated for early sexual maturity in Atlantic salmon. About 23984 (24999) individuals from 115 (118) full-sib families were tested in six sea-cages at five ... -
Genotype imputation based on discriminant and cluster analysis
(Master thesis, 2012-11-09)The recent development of high-throughput systems for genotyping SNP in Eukaryote has led to an extraordinary amount of research activity, particularly in areas such as whole-genome selection of livestock and ... -
Gjentatt rapporterin av smerter : hvordan forklare høy skåring ved første måling?
(Master thesis, 2011-10-10)Bakgrunn og formål: Rundt 30 % av den voksne befolkningen har i dag kroniske smerter, og kvinner er mer utsatt enn menn. Tidligere studier viser at det kan være en tendens til høyere smerterapportering ved førstegangsundersøkelse ... -
Glyphosate : the fragile power behind Argentina's soy complex
(Master thesis, 2017)The safe use narrative remains a powerful tool for the pesticide industry to keep their products on the market. The narrative claims misuse stems from underdevelopment; framing these pesticide (mis)users and farmers as ... -
Goat farming systems : a diagnosis of goat sector at the scale of farms in Centre-Val de Loire Region, France
(Master thesis, 2017-01-02)The goat sector in Centre-Val de Loire Region, France is highlighted by its five PDOs, its important volume of milk produced (63 million of litres in 2014) and its high rate of on-farm cheese processing (40% of the volume). ... -
Grading of correlated quality traits for added market value in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) - A model with example data
(Master thesis, 2010-11-29)The quality of the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) at the time of harvest affects the economic value and is in addition to body weight generally determined by the body composition and carcass quality traits, such as fillet ... -
