• Gene expression response in peripheral blood cells of petroleum workers exposed to sub-ppm benzene levels 

      Jørgensen, Katarina Mariann; Mosleth, Ellen Færgestad; Liland, Kristian Hovde; Hopf, Nancy Brenna; Holdhus, Rita; Stavrum, Anne-Kristin; Gjertsen, Bjørn Tore; Kirkeleit, Jorunn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Altered gene expression in pathways relevant to leukaemogenesis, as well as reduced levels of circulating lymphocytes, have been reported in workers that were exposed to benzene concentrations below 1 ppm. In this study, ...
    • Investigating the frequency of triploid Atlantic salmon in wild Norwegian and Russian populations 

      Jørgensen, Katarina Mariann; Wennevik, Vidar; Sørvik, Anne Grete Eide; Unneland, Laila; Prusov, Sergey; Ayllon, Fernando; Glover, Kevin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Fish may display variations in ploidy, including three sets of chromosomes, known as triploidy. A recent study revealed a frequency of ~ 2% spontaneous (i.e., non-intentional) triploidy in domesticated Atlantic salmon ...
    • Judging a salmon by its spots: Environmental variation is the primary determinant of spot patterns in Salmo salar 

      Jørgensen, Katarina Mariann; Solberg, Monica Favnebøe; Besnier, Francois; Thorsen, Anders; Fjelldal, Per Gunnar; Skaala, Øystein; Malde, Ketil; Glover, Kevin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      In fish, morphological colour changes occur from variations in pigment concentrations and in the morphology, density, and distribution of chromatophores in the skin. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unresolved in ...
