(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2024)Abstract Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is a rare B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder of the bone marrow, manifested by autoimmune hemolytic anemia caused by binding of monoclonal IgM autoantibodies to the I ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)European grayling from a common-gene pool and with a known ancestry were released into headwaters of a river system in Lesja, Oppland, Norway, about a century ago. These grayling dispersed downstream, and as a result there ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Because they comprise some of the most efficient wood-decayers, Polyporales fungi impact carbon cycling in forest environment. Despite continuous discoveries on the enzymatic machinery involved in wood decomposition, the ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)Several Planktothrix strains, each producing a distinct oligopeptide profile, have been shown to coexist within Lake Steinsfjorden (Norway). Using nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) genes as markers, it has been shown ...
-
Gene pleiotropy constrains gene expression changes in fish adapted to different thermal conditions (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Understanding the factors that shape the evolution of gene expression is a central goal in biology, but the molecular mechanisms behind this remain controversial. A related major goal is ascertaining how such factors may ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2023)Neurotoxic chemicals have the potential to cause devastating effects on marine organisms and ecosystems. The continued synthesis of new chemicals for commercial use highlights the need for improved efforts in monitoring ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Assessing the probability of extreme precipitation events is consequential in civil planning. This requires an understanding of how return values change with return periods, which is essentially described by the generalized ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2018)The primary cilium is a signaling organelle present on the cell surface of most eukaryotic cells. The organelle integrates several signaling pathways important for biological processes such as tissue homeostasis and embryonic ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background The aim of the present study was to provide an overview of the literature addressing the role of genetic factors and biomarkers predicting pain recovery in newly diagnosed lumbar radicular pain ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Inactivation of the tumor suppressor gene encoding the transcriptional regulator Ikaros (IKZF1) is a hallmark of BCR-ABL1+ precursor B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pre–B ALL). However, the mechanisms by which Ikaros ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Speciation involves reproductive isolation, which can occur by hybridization barriers acting in the endosperm of the developing seed. The nuclear endosperm is a nutrient sink, accumulating sugars from surrounding tissues, ...
-
Genetic and molecular analysis of the functional role of the AGL36 MADS-box Type I transcription factorRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)In angiosperms, seed development is a tightly regulated process often involving different epigenetic mechanisms such as a phenomenon known as imprinting that regulates parental gene expression in a parent-of-origin-dependent ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2021)
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Divergent selection pressures induced by different environmental conditions typically lead to variation in life history, behavior, and morphology. When populations are locally adapted to their current environment, selection ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 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 ...

-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)The human pathogens N. gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis display robust intra- and interstrain glycan diversity associated with their O-linked protein glycosylation (pgl) systems. In an effort to better understand the evolution ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Individual heterozygosity may influence the expression of fitness‐related traits, via genome‐wide or local genetic effects. Earlier studies have shown negative relationships between heterozygosity and sperm variation, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)We compared the genetic differentiation in the green sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis from discrete populations on the NE Atlantic coast. By using eight recently developed microsatellite markers, genetic structure ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Genetic diversity is a key part of biodiversity, threatened by human activities that lead to loss of gene flow and reduction of effective population sizes. Gene flow is a result of both landscape connectivity and demographic ...
