Characterization and optimization of the ParB_INT imaging tool
Isom, Martine Mesel (Master thesis, 2020)Partitioning B (ParB) proteins are key to the prokaryotic partitioning machinery which ensures proper segregation of replicated plasmid DNA strands. ParB proteins bind specifically to a centromere-like parS sequence, from ... -
Characterization of chromatin-bound interactome of cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12)
Berg, Sigrid Karlsen (Master thesis, 2020)Proper gene expression relies on control by an abundant number of factors and mechanisms, and the orchestration of these fine-tuned programs is fundamental in cellular functionality. Transcription regulation by RNA polymerase ... -
Characterization of genes and gene products influencing carotenoid metabolism in Atlantic salmon
Zoric, Nina (PhD Thesis;2017:36, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Distinct red flesh color is a unique trait of the fish genera Oncorhynchus, Salvelinus, Salmo and Parahucho. In this thesis we have investigated its molecular basis in Atlantic salmon to better understand how and why it ... -
Effect of cobalt on fatty acid composition in milk of dairy cows and sows
Karlengen, Inger Johanne (PhD Thesis;2011:75, Doctoral thesis, 2011)Previous research revealed that supplementing excess cobalt (Co) reduces bovine milk content of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), probably mediated by the enzyme Δ9 -desaturase. The general aim of this research project ... -
Epigenetic and genetic adaptation in experimental yeast populations
Stenberg, Simon (PhD Thesis;2019:23, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Evolution is a highly complex process where life change over time by the influence of relatively simple forces. Bringing evolution into the lab is a valuable asset to answer questions about processes that shape evolution. ... -
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 ... -
Identification of sperm parameters and gene variants influencing boar fertility
Tremoen, Nina Hårdnes (PhD Thesis;2018:37, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Boar fertility has a major impact on overall pig reproductive efficiency, and good semen quality is essential for successful fertilization and proper embryo development. Thus finding semen characteristics that can predict ... -
Inbreeding determined by the amount of homozygous regions in the genome
Hillestad, Borghild (PhD Thesis;2015:41, Doctoral thesis, 2017-11-30)The main aim of this PhD was to study long homozygote segments present in the genome in Norwegian Red, and find genomic options to measure inbreeding more accurately than from a pedigree database. Prior to the study, runs ... -
Linkage disequilibrium in the chromosomal region surrounding the prion protein gene (Prnp) in Norwegian dairy goat
Hammervold, Mie Marie (Master thesis, 2019)The Norwegian dairy goat is the only known mammal that naturally lacks cellular prion protein (PrPC); this due to a nonsense mutation in the prion protein gene (PRNP). This makes the goats interesting model animals in ... -
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 ... -
Utilizing shared segments for build-up genomic relationship between the Norwegian and the Swedish Fjord Horse
Tenhunen, Saija Riitta (Master thesis, 2018)Challenges in conservation of native breeds, like the Norwegian Fjord Horse, require an evaluation of the relationship between animals in different countries. Traditionally pedigree data have been used to calculate ...
