• Computational challenges in family genetics 

      Kling, Daniel (PhD Thesis;2015:36, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-13)
      There is a constant demand to determine the most probable relationship between a set of person given some genetic marker data and some hypotheses about pedigree structure. A constant stream of paternity cases is obtained ...
    • Establishment of gut microbiota in infants from a large Norwegian cohort 

      Avershina, Ekaterina (PhD Thesis;2015:76, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-10)
      Human gut microbiota, our so-called forgotten organ, is crucial for proper functioning of our body and for health maintenance. Although the topic of the gut microbiota establishment is very important, scientists still have ...
    • Estimation of small probabilities with applications to forensic genetics 

      Azulay, Naomi (Master thesis, 2016-08-10)
      When determining kinship relations based on genetic material, there is a need to quantify the probability for doing errors. These probabilities are typically very small, but nonetheless important, and needs to be controlled. ...
    • Genetisk og klinisk karakterisering av moyamoyasjukdom hos pasientar av skandinavisk opphav 

      Steinsvåg, Ingunn Vespestad (Master thesis, 2019)
      Innleiing Dei siste 15 åra har det vore stor utvikling av nye teknologiar for DNA-sekvensering. Dette har opna opp for mange nye bruksområde av desse teknologiane. Utviklinga av neste generasjons sekvensering (NGS) har ...
    • Kan degradering i mRNA predikere alder på biologiske spor? 

      Gjengedal, Celine Therese (Master thesis, 2020)
      DNA-analyser er et viktig verktøy for å knytte et individ til et biologisk spor funnet på et åsted. DNA gir i hovedsak kun informasjon om identitet, og sier ikke noe om når eller hvordan et spor ble avsatt. RNA har tidligere ...
    • Parameters and pedigrees in forensic genetics and statistics 

      Kaur, Navreet (PhD Thesis;2017:46, Doctoral thesis, 2017)
      With the rapidly evolving DNA technology today, there is a constant need of more robust statistical methods for analyzing the data. The sequencing techniques are improving, making more genetic markers available, and we are ...
    • Relationship inference and inbreeding in forensic genetics 

      Brustad, Hilde Kjelgaard (PhD Thesis;2021:48, Doctoral thesis, 2021)
      Inference of relatedness between individuals is of interest in fields as disparate as animal breeding, archaeology, medical genetics and genealogy. In the forensic context, emphasised in this thesis, applications include ...
    • Statistical methods for match probabilities with applications to Y chromosome data 

      Lanes, Daniel (Master thesis, 2016-08-10)
      Accurate estimates of Y-STR haplotype frequencies is an interesting problem in itself, but is especially important in forensic genetics, where the frequencies are used to calculate the likelihood ratio (LR) for the evidential ...
    • Target prediction and functional validation of MicroRNA for coagulation factor V and TFPI in liver cancer 

      Skogstrøm, Katarina Baumgarten (Master thesis, 2019)
      Background: The connection between cancer and increased risk of thrombosis is well established and liver cancer (HCC) patients have been found to have an increased risk of thrombosis. microRNAs (miRNA) are post-transcriptional ...
