      Edvardsen, Rolf Brudvik; Wallerman, Ola; Furmanek, Tomasz; Kleppe, Lene; Jern, Patric; Wallberg, Andreas; Kjærner-Semb, Erik Nordtorp; Mæhle, Stig; Olausson, Sara; Sundström, Elisabeth; Harboe, Torstein; Mangor-Jensen, Ragnfrid; Drønen, Margareth Møgster; Perrichon, Prescilla; Norberg, Birgitta; Rubin, Carl-Johan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Atlantic Halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) has a X/Y genetic sex determination system, but the sex determining factor is not known. We produced a high-quality genome assembly from a male and identified parts of chromosome ...
    • Photoreception and transcriptomic response to light during early development of a teleost with a life cycle tightly controlled by seasonal changes in photoperiod 

      Eilertsen, Mariann; Dolan, David William Peter; Bolton, Charlotte M.; Karlsen, Rita; Davies, Wayne I.L.; Edvardsen, Rolf Brudvik; Furmanek, Tomasz; Sveier, Harald; Migaud, Herve; Helvik, Jon Vidar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Light cues vary along the axis of periodicity, intensity and spectrum and perception of light is dependent on the photoreceptive capacity encoded within the genome and the opsins expressed. A global approach was taken to ...
    • The vgll3 Locus Controls Age at Maturity in Wild and Domesticated Atlantic Salmon(Salmo salar L.) Males 

      Ayllon, Fernando; Kjærner-Semb, Erik Nordtorp; Furmanek, Tomasz; Wennevik, Vidar; Solberg, Monica Favnebøe; Dahle, Geir; Taranger, Geir Lasse; Glover, Kevin; Sällman Almèn, Markus; Rubin, Carl J.; Edvardsen, Rolf; Wargelius, Anna (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-09)
      Wild and domesticated Atlantic salmon males display large variation for sea age at sexual maturation, which varies between 1–5 years. Previous studies have uncovered a genetic predisposition for variation of age at maturity ...
