CRISPR based functional characterization of the abcg2b gene contribution to muscle pigmentation in Atlantic salmon
Wagnerberger, Johanna Henny (Master thesis, 2020)Red flesh coloration is an important trademark of salmon meat and commonly associated with its quality. The colour intensity is largely controlled by diet composition and mainly caused by the red pigment astaxanthin, which ... -
Development of lentiviral technology for use in Atlantic salmon
Andreassen, Sara Stenmark (Master thesis, 2022)Lentiviral vectors are used to deliver and stably integrate genetic material into the genome of cells. When combined with CRISPR based gene editing technology, targeted editing of one or many host genes in a pooled format ... -
Fish welfare and color of skin and fillets of Atlantic Salmon from two genetic lines exposed to repeated hypoxia prior to harvesting
Røsvik, Marte (Master thesis, 2022)Oxygen is a fundamental necessity for the fitness and survival of Atlantic salmon. Hypoxia is reduced access to oxygen and low levels of oxygen in body tissues, which affects the welfare, immune response, and product quality ... -
Phenotypic effects of knocking out the pigmentation related genes, abcg2, bco1, and bco1-like in Atlantic salmon
Kuhn, Brandi Nicole (Master thesis, 2022)The red muscle color is one of the main quality parameters of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Unique to salmonids, the color comes from the accumulation of astaxanthin in the muscle, which is strictly obtained from the diet ... -
Pseudotyping lentiviral vectors for transduction of Salmo salar cells using glycoprotein from infectious salmon anaemia virus
Låstad, Thea Marie (Master thesis, 2023)Lentivirus is commonly used as vector for CRISPR applications. The common vector system utilises glycoproteins from the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV-G). This vector has broad a tropism, including the salmonid species ...
