Genomes are vulnerable to selfish genetic elements (SGEs), which enhance their own transmission relative to the rest of an individual's genome but are neutral or harmful to the individual as a whole. As a result, genetic conflict occurs between SGEs and other genetic elements in the genome. Selfish genetic elements that distort Mendelian segregation to favor their own transmission are common in eukaryotic genomes. Segregation distortion can reduce whole organism fitness, resulting in strong counter selection for genes that suppress distorters. Such intragenomic conflicts have the potential to drive bouts of antagonistic co-evolution, i.e. the aggregation of compensatory mutations to restore sex balance. One important consequence of recurrent sex-linked conflict is its potential to drive speciation.
Preliminary data suggests that we have identified several Standardbred stallions with a distorted sex ratio among their offspring. Some sires have significantly more males among their offspring and others have more females. The aim of this project is to dissect the genetic cause behind the distorted sex ratios. The first experiment will consist of developing assays (diagnostic tools) to determine if there are any chromosomal abnormalities in the sex chromosome pair (ECAX and ECAY) among parents and offspring. The development of the assays will be performed as collaboration between Texas A&M University and SLU. In addition to the purpose of this research project, these assays can be used in the future for diagnosis of reproductive problems in horses due to abnormalities in the sex chromosomes. A large proportion of such sex chromosome abnormalities remain undiagnosed in horses due to the lack of an affordable diagnostic tool that allows for avoiding karyotyping tests. If we identify any chromosomal abnormalities in this research project, karyotyping will be performed at Texas A&M under the leadership of Prof Terje Raudsepp. If no sex chromosomal deviations are detected, we aim to map and study selfish genetic elements that may cause the distorted sex ratios.
This will be achieved by
Since we previously performed a large-scale copy number variant (CNV) study in European horse breeds, we also aim to investigate if there are any sex-determining genes within these CNV regions.
Pinpointing selfish genetic elements (sex chromosome drivers), as well as compensatory mutations to restore sex balance, could have practical implications in horse breeding. Quite frequently, molecular sexing is performed on horse embryos. In nature, the genetics underlying a meiotic drive system, can lead to lineage splitting and speciation. This is because compensatory mutations may create hybrid incompatibility that could, perhaps, establish reproductive barriers.

Det är lite som är känt om den genetiska bakgrunden till strukturen av hår samt hur detta påverkas av faktorer som färg, ålder och kön. Projektet är en del av den större studien om mantillväxt med målet är att hitta genetiska faktorer som reglerar hårtillväxt.
Studenten kommer att analysera tagelprover från häst för att bestämma bland annat melanin koncentration och struktur såsom tjocklek och form på hårstråt. Tagelproverna kommer från islandshästar, en ras som har en mycket stor variation av längd och tjocklek av man och svans. Islandshästar har dessutom många olika färger. Här kan du läsa mer om projektet mantillväxt
Knowledge of which genetic factors regulating hair growth and hair structure is limited. This master project is a part of the study about mane growth in horses. The aim is to find mutations that regulate hair growth.
The student will analyze hair samples from horses to measure melanin content, thickness and shape of the hair strands. The hair samples are from mane and tail of Icelandic horses, a breed with a great variation in length, thickness and color. Click here to read more about mane growth.

The DMRT3 gene is important for gaits and performance in horses and the mutated gene variant is present in high frequency in gaited horse breeds. Homozygozity is normally required for a horse to be able to perform pace. However, while Shetland ponies normally are three-gaited and all tested horses are homozygous for the wild-type allele, we recently identified three Shetland ponies that are able to pace. The aim of this study is to sequence the region around the DMRT3 gene, to investigate if there are any additional mutations in or around the gene that can explain the pacing ability of these ponies.

Kunskapen om vilka genetiska faktorer som styr och reglerar hårtillväxt är hittills begränsad. I detta projekt använder vi oss av hästens stora variation i manlängd för att kartlägga faktorer som påverkar hårtillväxt. Målet med studien är att identifiera mutationer för hårtillväxt som förmodligen reglerar hårcykelns längd, dvs från det att ett hårstrå börjar växa tills det att hårstrået faller av och ett nytt hårstrå börjar växa fram. Målet med detta masterprojekt är att sekvensera en av de kandidatgener som har identifierats hos andra raser, hos häst, och undersöka förekomsten av eventuella mutationer hos hästar med olika lång man.

In this project, the student will first identify the genomic coordinates for all 200 autosomal recessive mutations listed in OMIA and build a data file that includes disease information, gene name and genomic coordinates. In the next step the student will use the data file in a bioinformatics pipeline that will be set up to scan complete canine genomes for those mutations. The results will not only provide valuable information and increase our understanding of how many autosomal recessive mutations are found in an individual dog. It will also be highly relevant for the canine community in guiding and preparing breeders and policy makers in a not too distant future when whole genome sequencing rather than genetic testing for a single mutation may be widely used.

Knowledge on genetic diversity is important, especially when a breeding resource undergoes large changes. The Swedish Landrace and Swedish Yorkshire pig breeds have experienced such a challenge when merging them into breeding organizations outside Sweden. Breeding goals and husbandry systems in Sweden differ from those in other European countries. Swedish piggeries apply higher animal welfare standards, and it is likely that the genetics of pigs has been selected for such systems. It is possible that the past breeding of the Swedish maternal lines has led to an adaptation of relevant behavioral traits. We have collected samples from Swedish domestic pig breeds and wild pigs to identify underlying population structures. Information will be compared to a world-wide datasets from various domestic and natural pig breeds. The data will provide important information on the structure of the Swedish breeds and establish a background for the possible need of further conservation strategies

Copy Number Variants (CNVs) are a common form of genetic variation influencing phenotypic diversity and disorders across a range of species. In horses’ genome, most of the CNV variation is known to occur in regions that regulate important biological processes such as sensory perception, signal transduction, immunity or metabolism pathways. Recently, we identified several CNVs in a wide range of different horse’s breeds. The aim of this study is, therefore, to validate the identified CNVs by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) across different horse populations and investigate they role in biological processes by functional and pathway enrichment analysis.

Det talas mycket om kor som klimatbovar, om antibiotikaanvändning i lantbruket, om betande djurs betydelse för biologisk mångfald. Men sällskapsdjurens betydelse för en hållbar utveckling diskuteras nästa aldrig. Ett exjobb i detta ämne kan genomföras på många olika sätt men jag föreställer mig att data samlas in från litteraturen och genom intervjuer av experter. Sedan gäller det att beskriva positiva och negativa konsekvenser av nyttjandet av sällskapsdjur och att få ihop en syntes. Att identifiera och beskriva målkonflikter är en viktig del av arbetet. Exjobbet kan göras mycket brett (många djurslag och alla tänkbara hållbarhetsaspekter) eller smalt, enligt studentens intresse. Ett exempel på en hypotes för ett smalare exjobb är: ”Det är mer hållbart med små hundar än stora hundar”. I jämförelsen mellan små och stora hundar skulle ingå foderåtgång och fodertillverkningens klimat- och miljöeffekter, antibiotikaförbrukning, hundens betydelse för hundägarens hälsa, privatekonomi etc. Beroende på vilken inriktning studenten väljer letar jag upp lämpliga medhandledare.

The antibody quality of the colostrum is essential for the newborn calf, as it depends on the passive transfer of colostral antibodies during the first 24 hours of life to stay healthy and survive until weaning. A high proportion of the cows have insufficient antibodies in the colostrum. There are also calves that do not obtain as much antibodies as expected; this is called failure of passive transfer (FPT). We suspect that there is a genetic component involved in this variation. The objective of this project is to analyze different factors that influence the uptake of antibodies in newborn calves.
The student will measure IgG antibodies in colostrum and milk samples using an Indirect ELISA. Next, he/she will compare these results with corresponding calf serum IgG values previously measured. And finally, using statistical analysis (R software), he/she will estimate genetic parameters such as heritability for colostrum IgG, calf IgG and other traits.

Leg quality is an important selection criteria for pigs. Certain leg characteristics have been linked to problems with movement and thus a reduced life length in sows. However, the classification of leg characteristics can be influenced by the technician evaluating the fundament. We have identified an interesting region on the genome associated with a poor quality of the hind legs in pigs. The project here aims to further investigate the genetic background of the leg characteristics. The student should organize the phenotypic data and use molecular genetic data to further investigate the genetic background of the traits. Different options are given for projects: The student can perform a genome-wide association analysis to identify regions associated with the leg character traits. There is the option to analyze data from whole-genome sequencing from pigs with diverse hind leg scores. Alternatively, there is the possibility to identify candidate genes and further analyze these in the laboratory using PCR, Sanger sequencing and possibly some genotyping methods.
