The genetics of omega-3 fatty acids in fillets of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
Horn, Siri Storteig (Doctoral thesis, 2019)Decreasing contents of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA in farmed Atlantic salmon reduces the nutritional value for consumers and influences physiological processes in the fish. Most studies of physiological omega-3 ... -
Genomic methods in breeding programs: Parental assignment, triploid genomics and case-parental control modelling
Grashei, Kim Erik (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
Kjetså, Maria Valkeneer (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 ... -
