CRISPR/Cas9 based knockout of genes in SHK-1 cell line, to investigate their role in development of Infectious salmon anemia virus infection
(Master thesis, 2022)In recent years, we have realized the potential of aquaculture as an industry to meet the goal of rising global food demand in a cost-effective manner, rooted in sustainable and environment friendly practices. Atlantic ... -
CRISPR/dCas9 Knock-down and CRISPR/Cas9 Knock-out of lxr in Atlantic salmon SHK-1 cells
(Master thesis, 2023)Understanding the genetics of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is crucial for gaining insight into this commercially important species. The sustainable development of aquaculture requires increasing levels of plant-based ... -
Cryopreservation of strawberry and two aphid-transmitted strawberry viruses at different durations of PVS2 treatment
(Master thesis, 2023)Cryopreservation is considered to be a valuable method for long-term preservation of plant germplasm and have in recent studies also shown to be a reliable method for preserving certain plant viruses. The presented thesis ... -
Cultivating human beings : natural farming in South Korea
(Master thesis, 2019)Although having achieved an unprecedented rise in food production, the ecological, social and health impacts of industrial agriculture have led numerous scholars and activists to question its desirability. Regarded as a ... -
Cultivating sustainable cannabis in the Danish Medicinal Cannabis Pilot Programme : a case study at OC CARE ApS
(Master thesis, 2021)In my research I explore the Danish Medicinal Cannabis Pilot Programme (Pilot Programme). The study was done with the case of OC Care ApS’ (OC Care) Envision Concept, a legislation-compliant growth facility with a controlled ... -
Degradation and digestion of wheat and legume starch in broiler chickens as affected by pelleting and extrusion
(Master thesis, 2019)Starch is a quantitatively most important source of energy in broiler chicken diets. Diets may contain up to 50% starch on a dry matter basis. Despite high starch contents in the diet, broiler chickens can utilize a variety ... -
Deltakende modellering for agroøkologisk overgang Studie av akse 4 i TRAVERSéESprosjektet i Barrois-regionen
(Master thesis, 2023)Ecophyto II+ promotes the mobilisation of stakeholders as one of the new action levers, to achieve its goal of reducing the use of phytosanitary products by 50% by 2025. The TRAVERSéES project is part of this second Ecophyto ... -
Derivation of economic values for important production traits in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2020)Atlantic salmon breeding programs selected several traits simultaneously. Lack of economic values may lead to inappropriate relative weighting of the traits selected for and with a suboptimal long-term genetic gain of the ... -
A descriptive study of the physical quality of commercial broiler pellets across the world
(Master thesis, 2021)This thesis work intends to give a general insight into commercial broiler pellets' physical quality and discuss the differences from a scientific point of view. The samples were delivered to the Norwegian University of ... -
Detection and genotyping of Atlantic salmon structural variants with genome graphs
(Master thesis, 2022)Structural variants (SVs) are defined as genomic rearrangements of 50 base pairs (bp) or larger. Although they are less frequent in the genome, they can account for ten folds more variable base pairs than the widely studied ... -
Determination of organochlorine pesticides in the fish from freshwater lakes of Pakistan
(Master thesis, 2021)This study is a quantitative analysis of selected organochlorine pesticides in the muscle tissues of fish and water samples from Tarbela (34° N, 72° E) and Sukkur (27°N, 68°E); two major lakes with water from the river ... -
Developing a practical tool to assess hunger in Norwegian red calves
(Master thesis, 2023)Restrictive feeding practices are commonly employed for dairy calves, but it is imperative to recognize that hunger adversely affects the health and well-being of these young animals. This research aims to develop a practical ... -
Developing a soft systems methodology for comparing the sustainability performances of ecologically active concrete to those of the traditionally used stone as scour protection material
(Master thesis, 2020)Sustainability is one of the ‘hottest’ topics of our times: governments, scientists and public opinion have all been actively involved in the conversation for decades now, and, as a consequence, also companies are experiencing ... -
Developing Cas9 expressing MDBK cell lines for GeCKO screening against bovine diseases
(Master thesis, 2022)Cas9 expressing MDBK (Madin-Darby bovine kidney) cell lines were produced for a GeCKO (genome scale CRISPR/Cas9 gene knockout) screening against Bovine diseases. The lines were transduced with lentiviral vectors containing ... -
Development of a method to compare sgRNA expression driven by heterologous and endogenous U6 promoters in an Atlantic salmon head kidney cell line
(Master thesis, 2021)Infectious diseases have negative impacts on fish welfare and sustainable aquaculture. Knowledge on host pathogen relationship and genes responsible for disease resistance could lead to development of vaccines and therapeutics ... -
Development of alternative baits based on rest raw materials, low-valued and surplus fish for baited gear fishing of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(Master thesis, 2018)The experiment was conducted to develop the alternative baits from low-valued and surplus fish for pot and longline fishing of Atlantic cod. Minced herring and capelin were used to produce baits for pots with increasing ... -
Development of CRISPR screenable phenotypes for PCV2 in pig cells and detection of latent BVDV contamination in commercial FBS
(Master thesis, 2023)Genome-wide CRISPR screening er et kraftig forskningsverktøy som gjør det mulig å undersøke virkningen av spesifikke gener i ulike biologiske prosesser, som for eksempel overlevelsesevne, fenotypeutvikling eller sykdomsprosesser. ... -
Development of embryonic cell culture conditions in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2023)Potensialet til bruk av induserte pluripotente stamceller har fått mye oppmerksomhet siden deres første produksjon. Disse cellene har en fenotype som ligner embryonale stamceller og kan derfor gi opphav til celler i alle ... -
