• Comparative transcriptomics reveals domestication‐associated features of Atlantic salmon lipid metabolism 

      Jin, Yang; Olsen, Rolf Erik; Harvey, Thomas Nelson; Østensen, Mari-Ann; Li, Keshuai; Santi, Nina; Vadstein, Olav; Bones, Atle M.; Vik, Jon Olav; Sandve, Simen Rød; Olsen, Yngvar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Domestication of animals imposes strong targeted selection for desired traits but can also result in unintended selection due to new domestic environments. Atlantic salmon was domesticated in the 1970s and has subsequently ...
    • Diet and Life Stage-Associated Lipidome Remodeling in Atlantic Salmon 

      Jin, Yang; Harvey, Thomas Nelson; Bartosova, Zdenka; Hassani, Sahar; Bruheim, Per; Sandve, Simen Rød; Vik, Jon Olav (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Salmon is an important source of long-chain highly unsaturated fatty acids (LC-HUFAs) such as 22:6n-3 [docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)]. In the present study, we conducted two identical experiments on salmon in freshwater (FW) ...
    • The Atlantic salmon genome provides insights into rediploidization 

      Lien, Sigbjørn; Koop, Ben F; Sandve, Simen Rød; Miller, Jason R.; Kent, Matthew Peter; Nome, Torfinn; Hvidsten, Torgeir Rhoden; Leong, Jong; Minkley, David R.; Zimin, Aleksey; Grammes, Fabian; Grove, Harald; Gjuvsland, Arne Bjørke; Walenz, Brian; Hermansen, Russell A.; von Schalburg, Kristian R.; Rondeau, Eric; Genova, Alex Di; Antony Samy, Jeevan Karloss; Vik, Jon Olav; Vigeland, Magnus Dehli; Caler, Lis; Grimholt, Unni; Jentoft, Sissel; Våge, Dag Inge; de Jong, Pieter J.; Moen, Thomas; Baranski, Matthew; Palti, Yniv; Smith, Douglas W.; Yorke, James A.; Nederbragt, Alexander J.; Tooming-Klunderud, Ave; Jakobsen, Kjetill Sigurd; Jiang, Xuanting; Fan, Dingding; Hu, Yan; Liberles, David A.; Vidal, Rodrigo; Iturra, Patricia; Jones, Steven J.M.; Jonassen, Inge; Maass, Alejandro; Omholt, Stig William; Davidson, William S (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      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 ...
    • Transcriptional regulation of lipid metabolism when salmon fry switches from endogenous to exogenous feeding 

      Jin, Yang; Olsen, Rolf Erik; Østensen, Mari-Ann; Gillard, Gareth Benjamin; Li, Keshuai; Harvey, Thomas Nelson; Santi, Nina; Vadstein, Olav; Vik, Jon Olav; Sandve, Simen Rød; Olsen, Yngvar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The onset of first feeding is a critical period for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). The fish goes through a dramatic transition, from using the yolk sac as an energy and nutrient resource to rely on exogenous food. However, ...
