• An assessment of the spatial scale of local adaptation in brown trout (Salmo trutta L.): footprints of selection at microsatellite DNA loci 

      Meier, K.; Hansen, M.M.; Bekkevold, Dorte; Skaala, Øystein; Mensberg, K-L.D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-01-12)
      Local adaptation is considered a paradigm in studies of salmonid fish populations. Yet, little is known about the geographical scale of local adaptation. Is adaptive divergence primarily evident at the scale of regions or ...
    • Are low but statistically significant levels of genetic differentiation in marine fishes ‘biologically meaningful’? A case study of coastal Atlantic cod 

      Knutsen, Halvor; Olsen, Esben Moland; Jorde, Per Erik; Espeland, Sigurd Heiberg; André, Carl (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-12-29)
      A key question in many genetic studies on marine organisms is how to interpret a low but statistically significant level of genetic differentiation. Do such observations reflect a real phenomenon, or are they caused by ...
    • EST resources and establishment and validation of a 16 k cDNA microarray from Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) 

      Edvardsen, Rolf B.; Malde, Ketil; Mittelholzer, Christian; Taranger, Geir Lasse; Nilsen, Frank (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-06-28)
      The Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua, is an important species both for traditional fishery and increasingly also in fish farming. The Atlantic cod is also under potential threat from various environmental changes such as pollution ...
    • Forensic identification of severely degraded Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) tissues 

      Dalvin, Sussie Trine; Glover, Kevin A.; Sørvik, Anne Grete Eide; Seliussen, Bjørghild Breistein; Taggart, John B. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-11-03)
      Aquaculture is a globally important and rapidly growing industry. It contributes positively to the economy and sustainability of coastal communities, but it is not without regulatory challenges. These challenges are diverse, ...
    • Genomic organization and gene expression of the multiple globins in Atlantic cod: conservation of globin-flanking genes in chordates infers the origin of the vertebrate globin clusters 

      Wetten, Ola F.; Nederbragt, Alexander J.; Wilson, Robert C.; Jakobsen, Kjetill S.; Edvardsen, Rolf B.; Andersen, Øivind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-10-20)
      Background: The vertebrate globin genes encoding the α- and β-subunits of the tetrameric hemoglobins are clustered at two unlinked loci. The highly conserved linear order of the genes flanking the hemoglobins provides a ...
    • RNA deep sequencing of the Atlantic cod transcriptome 

      Johansen, Steinar D.; Karlsen, Bård Ove; Furmanek, Tomasz; Andreassen, Morten; Jørgensen, Tor Erik; Bizuayehu, Teshome T.; Breines, Ragna; Emblem, Åse; Kettunen, Päivi; Luukko, Keijo; Edvardsen, Rolf B.; Nordeide, Jarle Tryti; Coucheron, Dag H.; Moum, Truls (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-05-20)
      The Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is an emerging aquaculture species. Efforts to develop and characterize its genomic recourses, including draft-grade genome sequencing, have been initiated by the research community. The ...
    • The genome sequence of Atlantic cod reveals a unique immune system 

      Star, Bastiaan; Nederbragt, Alexander J.; Jentoft, Sissel; Grimholt, Unni; Malmstrøm, Martin; Gregers, Tone F.; Rounge, Trine B.; Paulsen, Jonas; Solbakken, Monica H.; Sharma, Animesh; Wetten, Ola F.; Lanzén, Anders; Winer, Roger; Knight, James; Vogel, Jan-Hinnerk; Aken, Bronwen; Andersen, Øivind; Lagesen, Karin; Tooming-Klunderud, Ave; Edvardsen, Rolf B.; Tina, Kirubakaran G.; Espelund, Mari; Nepal, Chirag; Previti, Christopher; Karlsen, Bård Ove; Moum, Truls; Skage, Morten; Berg, Paul R.; Gjøen, Tor; Kuhl, Heiner; Thorsen, Jim; Malde, Ketil; Reinhardt, Richard; Du, Lei; Johansen, Steinar D.; Searle, Steve; Lien, Sigbjørn; Nilsen, Frank; Jonassen, Inge; Omholt, Stig W.; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Jakobsen, Kjetill S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-08-10)
      Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is a large, cold-adapted teleost that sustains long-standing commercial fisheries and incipient aquaculture. Here we present the genome sequence of Atlantic cod, showing evidence for complex ...
