Henriette Pasgaard Bertelsen: Detection of genetic variation related to milk coagulation properties
PhD defence, Wednesday 10 September 2014. Henriette Pasgaard Bertelsen.
During her PhD studies, Henriette Pasgaard Bertelsen examined milk coagulation properties, by looking at the genetic variants of the major milk proteins and by investigating the possible influence of other genes. Coagulation of milk has a central role in the production of cheese and is therefore very important for the dairy industry and it offers unprecedented opportunities for future breeding programmes if the genetic background of coagulation can be elucidated.
The PhD degree was completed at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Science and Technology, Aarhus University.
