• Relative transcript quantification by Quantitative PCR: Roughly right or precisely wrong? 

      Skern-Mauritzen, Rasmus; Frost, Petter; Nilsen, Frank (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2005)
      When estimating relative transcript abundances by quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR) we found that the results can vary dramatically depending on the method chosen for data analysis.
    • The salmon louse genome may be much larger than sequencing suggests. 

      Wyngaard, Grace; Skern-Mauritzen, Rasmus; Malde, Ketil; Prendergast, Rachel; Peruzzi, Stefano (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The genome size of organisms impacts their evolution and biology and is often assumed to be characteristic of a species. Here we present the first published estimates of genome size of the ecologically and economically ...
    • The salmon louse genome: Copepod features and parasitic adaptations 

      Skern-Mauritzen, Rasmus; Malde, Ketil; Eichner, Christiane; Dondrup, Michael; Furmanek, Tomasz; Besnier, Francois; Komisarczuk, Anna Zofia; Nuhn, Michael; Dalvin, Sussie; Edvardsen, Rolf Brudvik; Klages, Sven; Huettel, Bruno; Stueber, Kurt; Grotmol, Sindre; Karlsbakk, Egil Erlingsson; Kersey, Paul; Leong, Jong S; Glover, Kevin Alan; Reinhardt, Richard; Lien, Sigbjørn; Jonassen, Inge; Koop, Ben F; Nilsen, Frank (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Copepods encompass numerous ecological roles including parasites, detrivores and phytoplankton grazers. Nonetheless, copepod genome assemblies remain scarce. Lepeophtheirus salmonis is an economically and ecologically ...
    • The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda: Caligidae) life cycle has only two chalimus stages 

      Hamre, Lars Are; Eichner, Christiane; Caipang, Christopher; Dalvin, Sussie Trine; Bron, James E.; Nilsen, Frank; Boxshall, Geoffrey; Skern-Mauritzen, Rasmus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)
    • The Salmon Louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda: Caligidae) Life Cycle Has Only Two Chalimus Stages 

      Hamre, Lars Are; Eichner, Christiane; Caipang, Christopher Marlowe A.; Dalvin, Sussie Trine; Bron, James E.; Nilsen, Frank; Boxshall, Geoff; Skern-Mauritzen, Rasmus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-09-12)
      Each year the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis Kroyer, 1838) causes multi-million dollar commercial losses to the salmon farming industry world-wide, and strict lice control regimes have been put in place to reduce ...
    • Whole genome resequencing reveals diagnostic markers for investigating global migration and hybridization between minke whale species
