  • Genetic Variation Within the Icelandic Goat Breed
    Error! No index entries found. em MS-thesis March 2010 Genetic variation within the Icelandic goat breed Assessment using population data and DNA analysis Birna Kristín Baldursdóttir Faculty of Land and Animal Resources MS-thesis March 2010 Genetic variation within the Icelandic goat breed Assessment using population data and DNA analysis Birna Kristín Baldursdóttir Academic advisors: Jón Hallsteinn Hallsson and Þorvaldur Kristjánsson Agricultural University of Iceland Faculty of Land and Animal Resources Clarification of contribution I hereby declare that the writing of the following thesis is my work, done under the supervision and with the assistance of my advisors and members of my master committee, Dr. Jón Hallsteinn Hallsson and Þorvaldur Kristjánsson MSc. ____________________________ Birna Kristín Baldursdóttir i Abstract The Icelandic goat breed is a very small closed population consisting of only about 500-600 animals kept in 45 herds. The breed is believed to have originated from Norway during the settlement of Iceland in the years 874-930 AD. Several population bottlenecks are known to have occurred and the population has at least twice declined to under 100 animals. In the present study the genetic diversity within the Icelandic goat population is estimated on the base of both pedigree information and DNA analysis. The estimate is based on three approaches. Firstly, pedigree information is used to calculate the rate of inbreeding, pedigree completeness, generation interval, effective population size, highest contributing ancestors and relationship within and between areas. Secondly, microsatellite markers were used for genotyping and various diversity measures were calculated as well as the effective population size. Thirdly, parts of the mtDNA D-loop were sequenced in order to estimate the genetic diversity and structure of the population.

Í ljósi þess er brýnt að hafa í huga að sá breytileiki sem eitt sinn glatast, glatast fyrir fullt og allt. Minnkandi erfðafjölbreytni fylgir minnkandi aðlögunarhæfni og því er varðveisla lykilatriði fyrir ábyrgar kynbætur nytjastofna.

Það er von okkar að landsáætlunin sé skref í þá átt að mæta skuld- bindingum Íslands varðandi líffræðilega fjölbreytni og að auka skilning almennings á gildi erfðaauðlinda fyrir samfélagið.

  • Characterization of Native Nordic Farm Animal Breeds - State of Knowledge, 8.12.2015
    Characterization of native Nordic Farm Animal breeds - State of knowledge, 8.12.2015 The aim of this document is to provide a list of references outlining the current extent of characterization, both phenotypic and genetic, of native Nordic farm animal breeds. Google scholar was used to search for any scientific publications, including student theses and reports, on Nordic breeds of the main farm animal species: cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, chicken, dog and horse. The table below lists the breed names that were used as search keys. When present in the table, both the English as well as the original breed name were employed. No searches in Finnish or Icelandic language were conducted.

  • Analysis of the History and Population Structure of the Icelandic Horse Using Pedigree Data and DNA Analyses
    ICEL. AGRIC. SCI. 27 (2014), 63-79 63 Analysis of the history and population structure of the Icelandic horse using pedigree data and DNA analyses GUNNFRÍÐUR ELÍN HREIÐARSDÓTTIR1, THORVALDUR ÁRNASON1, VILHJÁLMUR SVANSSON2, AND JÓN HALLSTEINN HALLSSON1* 1Department of Land and Animal Resources, Agricultural University of Iceland, Keldnaholt, 112 Reykjavik, Iceland. 2Institute for Experimental Pathology, University of Iceland, Keldur, 112 Reykjavik, Iceland. *[email protected] (Corresponding Author) ABSTRACT The Icelandic horse breed is believed to have been founded on the basis of horses brought to Iceland eleven hundred years ago. It has in past decades gone from close to obsolete to enjoying considerable popularity with about 250,000 horses in at least 19 countries. To characterize the population structure pedigree data for over 300,000 individuals was analysed, calculating parameters such as effective population size, effective number of founders and ancestors, as well as inbreeding. DNA sequence analysis was also used to assess population structure and genetic diversity. The Icelandic horse population is genetically uniform despite differences in the use of genetic material between areas, has high levels of heterozygosity, numerous D-loop haplotypes, and an effective population size above one hundred horses. Despite long-term isolation, fluctuations in popu- lation size, and a selective breeding program the Icelandic horse population is well-off in regards to genetic diversity. Keywords: Pedigree data, genetic diversity, microsatellites, D-loop.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. Whfle the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from tiie document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the him along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you wQl find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to b e ^ filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the fîrst row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
