      Han, Fan; Jamsandekar, Minal; Pettersson, Mats; Su, Leyi; Fuentes-Pardo, Angela P.; Davis, Brian W.; Bekkevold, Dorte; Berg, Florian; Casini, Michele; Dahle, Geir; Farrell, Edward D.; Folkvord, Arild; Andersson, Leif (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Atlantic herring is widespread in North Atlantic and adjacent waters and is one of the most abundant vertebrates on earth. This species is well suited to explore genetic adaptation due to minute genetic differentiation at ...
    • Moderate nucleotide diversity in the Atlantic herring is associated with a low mutation rate

    • Novel adverse outcome pathways revealed by chemical genetics in a developing marine fish 

      Sørhus, Elin; Incardona, John P.; Furmanek, Tomasz; Goetz, Giles W.; Scholz, Nathaniel; Meier, Sonnich; Edvardsen, Rolf; Jentoft, Sissel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Crude oil spills are a worldwide ocean conservation threat. Fish are particularly vulnerable to the oiling of spawning habitats, and crude oil causes severe abnormalities in embryos and larvae. However, the underlying ...
    • The genetic basis for ecological adaptation of the Atlantic herring revealed by genome sequencing

      Ecological adaptation is of major relevance to speciation and sustainable population management, but the underlying genetic factors are typically hard to study in natural populations due to genetic differentiation caused ...
