• Controlling for P-value inflation in allele frequency change in experimental evolution and artificial selection experiments 

      Kemppainen, Petri; Rønning, Bernt; Kvalnes, Thomas; Hagen, Ingerid Julie; Ringsby, Thor Harald; Billing, Anna Maria; Pärn, Henrik; Lien, Sigbjørn; Husby, Arild; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Jensen, Henrik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Experimental evolution studies can be used to explore genomic response to artificial and natural selection. In such studies, loci that display larger allele frequency change than expected by genetic drift alone are assumed ...
    • Estimation of linkage disequilibrium and interspecific gene flow in Ficedula flycatchers by a newly developed 50k SNP array. 

      Kawakami, Takeshi; Backström, Niclas; Burri, Reto; Husby, Arild; Olason, PI; Rice, A M; Qvarström, Anna; Ellegren, Hans (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      With the access to draft genome sequence assemblies and whole-genome resequencing data from population samples, molecular ecology studies will be able to take truly genome-wide approaches. This now applies to an avian model ...
    • A genome-wide linkage map for the house sparrow (Passer domesticus) provides insights into the evolutionary history of the avian genome 

      Hagen, Ingerid Julie; Lien, Sigbjørn; Billing, Anna Maria; Elgvin, Tore Oldeide; Trier, Cassandra Nicole; Niskanen, Alina K.; Tarka, Maja; Slate, Jon; Sætre, Glenn-Peter; Jensen, Henrik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The house sparrow is an important model species for studying physiological, ecological and evolutionary processes in wild populations. Here, we present a medium density, genome wide linkage map for house sparrow (Passer ...

      To associate specimens identified by molecular characters to other biological knowledge, we need reference sequences annotated by Linnaean taxonomy. In this study, we (1) report the creation of a comprehensive reference ...
    • The easy road to genome-wide medium density SNP screening in a non-model species: development and application of a 10K SNP-chip for the house sparrow (Passer domesticus) 

      Hagen, Ingerid Julie; Billing, Anna Maria; Rønning, Bernt; Pedersen, Sindre Andre; Pärn, Henrik; Slate, Jon; Jensen, Henrik (Journal article, 2013)
      With the advent of next generation sequencing, new avenues have opened to study genomics in wild populations of non-model species. Here, we describe a successful approach to a genome-wide medium density Single Nucleotide ...
    • Whole-genome resequencing of extreme phenotypes in collared flycatchers highlights the difficulty of detecting quantitative trait loci in natural populations 

      Kardos, Marty; Husby, Arild; McFarlane, S. Eryn; Qvarnström, Anna; Ellegren, Hans (Journal article, 2016)
      Dissecting the genetic basis of phenotypic variation in natural populations is a long-standing goal in evolutionary biology. One open question is whether quantitative traits are determined only by large numbers of genes ...
