Efter många års arbete har forskare vid bland annat LTH kartlagt och karakteriserat havrens hela genuppsättning. Det ger stora möjligheter att förädla fram havre som har ännu bättre näringsinnehåll, är mer hälsosamt eller kan odlas på ett mer miljömässigt hållbart sätt. Detaljerade genanalyser stärker också bevisen för att havre är säker i glutenfri kost. Resultaten publiceras nu i Nature. Det omf

Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst
