Genetic affinities of an eradicated european plasmodium falciparum strain
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Malaria was present in most of Europe until the second half of the 20th century, when it was eradicated through a combination of increased surveillance and mosquito control strategies, together with cross-border and political ... -
A genetic algorithm approach for image representation learning through color quantization
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Over the last decades, hand-crafted feature extractors have been used to encode image visual properties into feature vectors. Recently, data-driven feature learning approaches have been successfully explored as alternatives ... -
Genetic Algorithms For Tightening Security
(Chapter, 2022)Proper configuration of operating systems and program parameters is known to be a key security factor in order to remove vulnerabilities. It is known that vulnerabilities can be caused by a human misconfiguration or by an ... -
Genetic analysis of four Île Amsterdam sphagna: high morphological divergence within Sphagnum subgenus Subsecunda
(Journal article, 2018)This study uses microsatellites (SSRs) and nucleotide sequences to explore unresolved questions associated with four of the six Sphagnum species reported for Île Amsterdam: Sphagnum cavernulosum of unknown subgenus, S. ... -
Genetic and environmental effects on the scaling of metabolic rate with body size
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Metabolic rate (MR) often scales with body mass (BM) following a power function of the form MR=aBMb, where log(a) is the allometric intercept and b is the allometric exponent (i.e. slope on a log–log scale). The variational ... -
Genetic and molecular functional characterization of variants within TNFSF13B, a positional candidate preeclampsia susceptibility gene on 13q
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Background: Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication, demonstrating a complex pattern of inheritance. The elucidation of genetic liability to preeclampsia remains a major challenge in obstetric medicine. We have ... -
Genetic and Non-genetic Factors Associated WithConstipation in Cancer Patients Receiving Opioids
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Objectives: To examine whether the inter-individual variation in constipation among patients receiving opioids for cancer pain is associated with genetic or non-genetic factors. Methods: Cancer patients receiving ... -
Genetic architecture and heritability of early-life telomere length in a wild passerine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Early-life telomere length (TL) is associated with fitness in a range of organisms. Little is known about the genetic basis of variation in TL in wild animal populations, but to understand the evolutionary and ecological ... -
The genetic architecture of human brainstem structures and their involvement in common brain disorders
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Brainstem regions support vital bodily functions, yet their genetic architectures and involvement in common brain disorders remain understudied. Here, using imaging-genetics data from a discovery sample of 27,034 individuals, ... -
The genetic architecture of human brainstem structures and their involvement in common brain disorders
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Brainstem regions support vital bodily functions, yet their genetic architectures and involvement in common brain disorders remain understudied. Here, using imaging-genetics data from a discovery sample of 27,034 individuals, ... -
Genetic architecture of subcortical brain structures in 38,851 individuals
(Journal article, 2019)Subcortical brain structures are integral to motion, consciousness, emotions and learning. We identified common genetic variation related to the volumes of the nucleus accumbens, amygdala, brainstem, caudate nucleus, globus ... -
The genetic architecture of the human cerebral cortex
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The cerebral cortex underlies our complex cognitive capabilities, yet little is known about the specific genetic loci that influence human cortical structure. To identify genetic variants that affect cortical structure, ... -
Genetic assignment of individuals to source populations using network estimation tools
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Dispersal, the movement of individuals between populations, is crucial in many ecological and genetic processes. However, direct identification of dispersing individuals is difficult or impossible in natural populations. ... -
Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Reduced glomerular filtration rate defines chronic kidney disease and is associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for estimated glomerular ... -
Genetic associations with temporal shifts in obesity and severe obesity during the obesity epidemic in Norway: A longitudinal population-based cohort (the HUNT Study)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background Obesity has tripled worldwide since 1975 as environments are becoming more obesogenic. Our study investigates how changes in population weight and obesity over time are associated with genetic predisposition ... -
The genetic background of hydrocephalus in a population-based cohort: implication of ciliary involvement
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Hydrocephalus is one of the most common congenital disorders of the central nervous system and often displays psychiatric co-morbidities, in particular autism spectrum disorder. The disease mechanisms behind hydrocephalus ... -
Genetic consequences of conservation action: Restoring the arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) population in Scandinavia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) population in Fennoscandia experienced a drastic bottleneck in the late 19th century as a result of high hunting pressure. In the 1990s, despite nearly 70 years of protection, the population ... -
Genetic control of variability in subcortical and intracranial volumes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Sensitivity to external demands is essential for adaptation to dynamic environments, but comes at the cost of increased risk of adverse outcomes when facing poor environmental conditions. Here, we apply a novel methodology ... -
