• Genome-wide association mapping for milk fat composition and fine mapping of a QTL for de novo synthesis of milk fatty acids on bovine chromosome 13 

      Olsen, Hanne Gro; Knutsen, Tim Martin; Kohler, Achim; Svendsen, Morten; Gidskehaug, Lars Halvor; Grove, Harald; Nome, Torfinn; Sodeland, Marte; Sundsaasen, Kristil Kindem; Kent, Matthew Peter; Martens, Harald; Lien, Sigbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Background Bovine milk is widely regarded as a nutritious food source for humans, although the effects of individual fatty acids on human health is a subject of debate. Based on the assumption that genomic selection offers ...
    • Modular chromosome rearrangements reveal parallel and nonparallel adaptation in a marine fish 

      Kess, Tony; Bentzen, Paul; Lehnert, Sarah; Sylvester, Emma V. A.; Lien, Sigbjørn; Kent, Matthew Peter; Sinclair-Waters, Marion; Morris, Corey; Wringe, Brendan; Fairweather, Robert; Bradbury, Ian R. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Genomic architecture and standing variation can play a key role in ecological adaptation and contribute to the predictability of evolution. In Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), four large chromosomal rearrangements have been ...
    • Spatial and temporal genetic structure of a river-resident Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) after millennia of isolation 

      Sandlund, Odd Terje; Karlsson, Sten; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Berg, Ole Kristian; Kent, Matthew Peter; Norum, Ine Cecilie Jordalen; Hindar, Kjetil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      The river-resident Salmo salar (“småblank”) has been isolated from other Atlantic salmon populations for 9,500 years in upper River Namsen, Norway. This is the only European Atlantic salmon population accomplishing its ...
    • The Atlantic salmon genome provides insights into rediploidization

      The whole-genome duplication 80 million years ago of the common ancestor of salmonids (salmonid-specific fourth vertebrate whole-genome duplication, Ss4R) provides unique opportunities to learn about the evolutionary fate ...
