A ChIP-Seq Benchmark Shows That Sequence Conservation Mainly Improves Detection of Strong Transcription Factor Binding Sites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Background: Transcription factors are important controllers of gene expression and mapping transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) is key to inferring transcription factor regulatory networks. Several methods for ... -
Assessing gene-environment interaction effects of FTO, MC4R and lifestyle factors on obesity using an extreme phenotype sampling design: Results from the HUNT study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background Our aim was to assess the influence of age, gender and lifestyle factors on the effect of the obesity-promoting alleles of FTO and MCR4. Methods The HUNT study comprises health information on the ... -
Differential Gene Expression at the Maternal-Fetal Interface in Preeclampsia Is Influenced by Gestational Age
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Genome-wide transcription data of utero-placental tissue has been used to identify altered gene expression associated with preeclampsia (PE). As many women with PE deliver preterm, there is often a difference in gestational ... -
Effect of sensor location on continuous intraperitoneal glucose sensing in an animal model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In diabetes research, the development of the artificial pancreas has been a major topic since continuous glucose monitoring became available in the early 2000’s. A prerequisite for an artificial pancreas is fast and reliable ... -
Endoparasite infection has both short- and long-term negative effects on reproductive success of female house sparrows, as revealed by faecal parasitic egg counts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Parasites have the potential to severely reduce host reproductive success. However, the effects of endoparasites on reproductive success have not received the same amount of attention as the effects of parasites on host ... -
Human Breast Milk miRNA, Maternal Probiotic Supplementation and Atopic Dermatitis in Offspring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Background: Perinatal probiotic ingestion has been shown to prevent atopic dermatitis (AD) in infancy in a number of randomised trials. The Probiotics in the Prevention of Allergy among Children in Trondheim (ProPACT) trial ... -
Integrated Monitoring of Mola mola Behaviour in Space and Time
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Over the last decade, ocean sunfish movements have been monitored worldwide using various satellite tracking methods. This study reports the near-real time monitoring of fine-scale (< 10 m) behaviour of sunfish. The study ... -
Intergenerational Transmission of Overweight and Obesity from Parents to Their Adolescent Offspring – The HUNT Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Purpose: The main aim of this study was to examine weight associations between parents and offspring at two time points: 1995–97 and 2006–08, taking into account body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference. Methods: The ... -
Manganese acquisition is facilitated by PilA in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Manganese is an essential element required by cyanobacteria, as it is an essential part of the oxygen-evolving center of photosystem II. In the presence of atmospheric oxygen, manganese is present as manganese oxides, which ... -
PepeSearch: Semantic Data for the Masses
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)With the emergence of the Web of Data, there is a need of tools for searching and exploring the growing amount of semantic data. Unfortunately, such tools are scarce and typically require knowledge of SPARQL/RDF. We propose ... -
Spatial gender-age-period-cohort analysis of pancreatic cancer mortality in Spain (1990-2013)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Recently, the interest in studying pancreatic cancer mortality has increased due to its high lethality. In this work a detailed analysis of pancreatic cancer mortality in Spanish provinces was performed using recent data. ...
