• Associations Between Behavioral Effects of Bisphenol A and DNA Methylation in Zebrafish Embryos 

      Olsvik, Pål Asgeir; Whatmore, Paul; Penglase, Samuel; Skjærven, Kaja Helvik; Anglès d'Auriac, Marc; Ellingsen, Ståle (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Endocrine-disrupting contaminants have been associated with aberrant changes in epigenetic pathways in animals. In this study, zebrafish embryos were exposed bisphenol A (BPA) to search for associations between behavior ...
    • 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 (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 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 ...
    • CRISPR/cascade 9-mediated genome editing-challenges and opportunities 

      Roy, Bhaskar; Zhao, Jing; Yang, Chao; Luo, Wen; Xiong, Teng; Li, Yong; Fang, Xiaodong; Gao, Guanjun; Singh, Chabungbam O; Madsen, Lise; Zhou, Yong; Kristiansen, Karsten (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Clustered Regularly Interspaced Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and Cascade 9 (also known as Cas9, CRISPR associated protein 9) confer protection against invading viruses or plasmids. The CRISPR/Cascade 9 system constitutes ...
    • 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 (Others, 2019)
      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 ...
