Characterization of insertion variants of the carboxyl-ester lipase (CEL) gene - A role in pancreatic disease?
(Master thesis, 2018-06-26)Carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) is a digestive enzyme that is mainly expressed in the acinar cells of the pancreas. The CEL gene is highly polymorphic due to a variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) region in the last exon. ... -
Characterization of NAA10 mutations in patients exhibiting phenotypes associated with N-terminal acetylation deficiency
(Master thesis, 2018-12-19)Approximately 80% of the proteins found in human cells are acetylated on their N-terminus, either partially or completely, by a group of enzymes called N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs)^1. To date, seven NATs, NatA-NatF^2–7 ... -

(Master thesis, 2021-06-01) -
Characterization of Nuclear Respiratory Factor 1 using transgenic zebrafish
(Doctoral thesis, 2006-12-01)Nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1) is a transcription factor essential for the embryonic development of vertebrates. The zebrafish mutant nrf is characterized by apoptotic photoreceptor death during embryogenesis followed ... -
Characterization of Pseudoterranova ceticola (Nematoda: Anisakidae) larvae from meso/bathypelagic fishes off Macaronesia (NW Africa waters)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The genus Pseudoterranova includes parasite species of cetaceans and pinnipeds. The third stage larva (L3) of seal-infecting species occur in second intermediate or paratenic fish hosts mainly in neritic waters. This study ... -
Characterization of regulatory T cells in Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome type I, a model disease for autoimmunity
(Master thesis, 2018-12-21)The T and B lymphocytes of the adaptive immune system face the challenge of correctly recognizing antigens originating from a vast number of rapidly evolving pathogens, while ignoring those pertaining to the host itself. ... -
Characterization of Small, Mononuclear Blood Cells from Salmon Having High Phagocytic Capacity and Ability to Differentiate into Dendritic like Cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-11-14)Phagocytes are the principal component of the innate immune system, playing a key role in the clearance of foreign particles that include potential pathogens. In vertebrates, both neutrophils and mononuclear cells like ... -
Characterization of some Kunitz domain containing genes - possible link to Salivary gland
(Master thesis, 2015-10-15)As a hematophagous parasite, anticoagulants are crucial for L. salmonis. In hematophagous animals specific anticoagulants are produced by salivary gland in order to keep the blood liquid and to allow the parasite to process ... -
Characterization of the 18s rRNA gene for designing universal eukaryote specific primers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-07)High throughput sequencing technology has great promise for biodiversity studies. However, an underlying assumption is that the primers used in these studies are universal for the prokaryotic or eukaryotic groups of interest. ... -
Characterization of the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L) eggs for estimation of spawning time and proportion of spawning females
(Master thesis, 2011-05-29)A set of eggs from first time spawning Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L) was investigated for the understanding of variations in egg sizes, e.g. with time in the spawning season, daily inter and intra variations, daily ... -
Characterization of the dopamine receptor genes in salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus Salmonis
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01) -
Characterization of three salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) genes with fibronectin II domains expressed by tegumental type 1 glands
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-01)The salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda: Caligidae), is currently the most significant pathogen affecting the salmon farming industry in the Northern Hemisphere. Exocrine glands of blood-feeding parasites are ... -
Characterization of untranslated regions of the salmonid alphavirus 3 (SAV3) genome and construction of a SAV3 based replicon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-10-27)Salmonid alphavirus (SAV) causes disease in farmed salmonid fish and is divided into different genetic subtypes (SAV1-6). Here we report the cloning and characterization of the 5'- and 3'- untranslated regions (UTR) of a ... -
Characterization of ‘Candidatus Syngnamydia salmonis’ (Chlamydiales, Simkaniaceae), a bacterium associated with epitheliocystis in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01)Two Chlamydiales have previously been found to infect Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.), Candidatus Piscichlamydia salmonis and Candidatus Clavichlamydia salmonicola. Both develop intracellularly in cyst-like inclusions in ... -
Charting a course for genetic diversity in the UN Decade of Ocean Science
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The health of the world's oceans is intrinsically linked to the biodiversity of the ecosystems they sustain. The importance of protecting and maintaining ocean biodiversity has been affirmed through the setting of the UN ... -
