• A two-step site and mRNA-level model for predicting microRNA targets 

      Saito, Takaya; Sætrom, Pål (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)
      Background: Despite experiments showing that the number of microRNA (miRNA) target sites is critical for miRNA targeting, most existing methods focus on identifying individual miRNA target sites and do not model contributions ...
    • Computational analysis of regulatory mechanism and interactions of microRNAs 

      Saito, Takaya (Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2011:314, Doctoral thesis, 2011)
      For years, RNAs were thought to have only two broad functions in cells, transmitting information between DNA and protein as messenger RNA (mRNA), and playing structural, catalytic, information decoding roles in protein ...
    • Impact of Antioxidant Feed and Growth Manipulation on the Redox Regulation of Atlantic Salmon Smolts 

      Yin, Peng; Bjørnsson, Bjørn Thrandur; Fjelldal, Per Gunnar; Saito, Takaya; Remø, Sofie C.; Edvardsen, Rolf Brudvik; Hansen, Tom Johnny; Sharma, Sandeep; Olsen, Rolf Erik; Hamre, Kristin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Accumulating evidence indicates a close relationship between oxidative stress and growth rate in fish. However, the underlying mechanisms of this relationship remain unclear. This study evaluated the combined effect of ...
    • Inferring causative variants in microRNA target sites 

      Thomas, Laurent; Saito, Takaya; Sætrom, Pål (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate genes post transcription by pairing with messenger RNA (mRNA). Variants such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA regulatory regions might result in altered protein levels and ...
    • Seasonal Changes in Photoperiod: Effects on Growth and Redox Signaling Patterns in Atlantic Salmon Postsmolts 

      Yin, Peng; Saito, Takaya; Fjelldal, Per Gunnar; Björnsson, Björn Thrandur; Remø, Sofie C.; Hansen, Tom Johnny; Sharma, Sandeep; Olsen, Rolf-Erik; Hamre, Kristin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Farmed Atlantic salmon reared under natural seasonal changes in sea-cages had an elevated consumption of antioxidants during spring. It is, however, unclear if this response was caused by the increase in day length, ...
