Evaluation of vGWAS, a test for determining scenarios of epistasis
(Master thesis, 2013-07-09)A number of software packages have been developed for the detection of epistatic QTL. Nevertheless, none of these approaches could assure the optimal detection of epistasis. There are a number of limitations in these ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Resistance studies and genetic characterization of the barley : Pyrenophora teres pathosystem
(PhD Thesis;2017:52, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Net blotch is a major barley disease in Norway caused by the necrotrophic fungus Pyrenophora teres, which can cause yield losses of up to 40% under conducive conditions. Two forms of this pathogen, P. teres f. teres (Ptt) ... -
Simulation study on the long term utilization of QTL for a disease trait in fish breeding programs
(Master thesis, 2012-06-21)The aim of this study was to investigate, through stochastic simulation, the potential of using genome information and more particularly, information on the identified IPN resistance QTL in salmon breeding program in ...
