    • Autosomal sdY pseudogenes explain discordances between phenotypic sex and DNA marker for sex identification in Atlantic salmon 

      Ayllon, Fernando; Solberg, Monica Favnebøe; Besnier, Francois; Fjelldal, Per Gunnar; Hansen, Tom Johnny; Wargelius, Anna; Edvardsen, Rolf Brudvik; Glover, Kevin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Despite the key role that sex-determination plays in evolutionary processes, it is still poorly understood in many species. In salmonids, which are among the best studied fishes, the master sex-determining gene sexually ...

    • Effects of Agricultural Pesticides in Aquafeeds on Wild Fish Feeding on Leftover Pellets Near Fish Farms 

      Olsvik, Pål Asgeir; Larsen, Anett Kristin; Berntssen, Marc; Goksøyr, Anders; Karlsen, Odd Andre; Yadetie, Fekadu; Sanden, Monica; Kristensen, Torstein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-26)
      Screening has revealed that modern-day feeds used in Atlantic salmon aquaculture might contain trace amounts of agricultural pesticides. To reach slaughter size, salmon are produced in open net pens in the sea. Uneaten ...

    • High-Dimensional Bayesian Network Inference From Systems Genetics Data Using Genetic Node Ordering 

      Wang, Lingfei; Audenaert, Pieter; Michoel, Tom Luk Robert (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Studying the impact of genetic variation on gene regulatory networks is essential to understand the biological mechanisms by which genetic variation causes variation in phenotypes. Bayesian networks provide an elegant ...

    • Organelle bottlenecks facilitate evolvability by traversing heteroplasmic fitness valleys 

      Radzvilavicius, Arunas; Johnston, Iain (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Bioenergetic organelles—mitochondria and plastids—retain their own genomes (mtDNA and ptDNA), and these organelle DNA (oDNA) molecules are vital for eukaryotic life. Like all genomes, oDNA must be able to evolve to suit ...

    • Salmon louse labial gland enzymes: implications for host settlement and immune modulation 

      Midtbø, Helena Marie Doherty; Eichner, Christiane; Hamre, Lars Are; Dondrup, Michael; Flesland, Linn; Tysseland, Kristoffer Helland; Kongshaug, Heidi; Borchel, Andreas; Nilsen, Frank; Øvergård, Aina-Cathrine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is a skin- and blood-feeding ectoparasite, infesting salmonids. While feeding, labial gland proteins from the salmon louse may be deposited on the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) skin. ...

    • Small Open Reading Frames, How to Find Them and Determine Their Function 

      Kute, Preeti; Soukarieh, Omar; Tjeldnes, Håkon; Trégouët, David-Alexandre; Valen, Eivind Dale (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Advances in genomics and molecular biology have revealed an abundance of small open reading frames (sORFs) across all types of transcripts. While these sORFs are often assumed to be non-functional, many have been implicated ...
