      Berg, Paul R; Jentoft, Sissel; Star, Bastiaan; Ring, Kristoffer H; Knutsen, Halvor; Lien, Sigbjørn; Jakobsen, Kjetill S; André, Carl (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      How genomic selection enables species to adapt to divergent environments is a fundamental question in ecology and evolution. We investigated the genomic signatures of local adaptation in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) along ...
    • An improved genome assembly uncovers prolific tandem repeats in Atlantic cod 

      Tørresen, Ole K; Star, Bastiaan; Jentoft, Sissel; Reinar, William B; Grove, Harald; Miller, Jason R; Walenz, Brian P; Knight, James; Ekholm, Jenny M; Peluso, Paul; Edvardsen, Rolf B; Tooming-Klungerud, Ave; Skage, Morten; Lien, Sigbjørn; Jakobsen, Kjetill S; Nederbragt, Alexander J (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Background The first Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) genome assembly published in 2011 was one of the early genome assemblies exclusively based on high-throughput 454 pyrosequencing. Since then, rapid advances in sequencing ...
    • Ancient DNA reveals the Arctic origin of Viking Age cod from Haithabu, Germany 

      Star, Bastiaan; Boessenkool, Sanne; Gondek, Agata Teresa; Nikulina, Elena A.; Hufthammer, Anne Karin; Pampoulie, Christophe; Knutsen, Halvor; André, Carl; Nistelberger, Heidi Maria; Dierking, Jan; Petereit, Christoph; Heinrich, Dirk; Jakobsen, Kjetill Sigurd; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Jentoft, Sissel; Barrett, James H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      nowledge of the range and chronology of historic trade and long-distance transport of natural resources is essential for determining the impacts of past human activities on marine environments. However, the specific ...
    • Disentangling structural genomic and behavioral barriers in a sea of connectivity 

      Barth, Julia Maria Isis; Villegas-Ríos, David; Freitas, Carla; Moland, Even; Star, Bastiaan; André, Carl; Knutsen, Halvor; Bradbury, Ian; Dierking, Jan; Petereit, Christoph; Righton, David; Metcalfe, Julian; Jakobsen, Kjetill Sigurd; Olsen, Esben Moland; Jentoft, Sissel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    • Evolution of the immune system influences speciation rates in teleost fishes 

      Malmstrøm, Martin; Matschiner, Michael; Tørresen, Ole Kristian; Star, Bastiaan; Snipen, Lars-Gustav; Hansen, Thomas F; Baalsrud, Helle Tessand; Nederbragt, Alexander Johan; Hanel, Reinhold; Salzburger, Walter; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Jakobsen, Kjetill Sigurd; Jentoft, Sissel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Teleost fishes constitute the most species-rich vertebrate clade and exhibit extensive genetic and phenotypic variation, including diverse immune defense strategies. The genomic basis of a particularly aberrant strategy ...
    • Genome architecture enables local adaptation of Atlantic cod despite high connectivity 

      Barth, Julia Maria Isis; Berg, Paul Ragnar; Jonsson, Per R; Bonanomi, Sara; Corell, Hanna; Hemmer-Hansen, Jakob; Jakobsen, Kjetill Sigurd; Johannesson, Kerstin; Jorde, Per Erik; Knutsen, Halvor; Moksnes, Per-Olav; Star, Bastiaan; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Svedang, Henrik; Jentoft, Sissel; Andre, Carl (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Adaptation to local conditions is a fundamental process in evolution; however, mechanisms maintaining local adaptation despite high gene flow are still poorly understood. Marine ecosystems provide a wide array of diverse ...
    • Genomic characterization of the Atlantic cod sex-locus 

      Star, Bastiaan; Tørresen, Ole Kristian; Nederbragt, Alexander Johan; Jakobsen, Kjetill Sigurd; Pampoulie, Christophe; Jentoft, Sissel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      A variety of sex determination mechanisms can be observed in evolutionary divergent teleosts. Sex determination is genetic in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), however the genomic location or size of its sex-locus is unknown. ...
    • Three chromosomal rearrangements promote genomic divergence between migratory and stationary ecotypes of Atlantic cod 

      Berg, Paul Ragnar; Star, Bastiaan; Pampoulie, Christophe; Sodeland, Marte; Barth, Julia Maria Isis; Knutsen, Halvor; Jakobsen, Kjetill Sigurd; Jentoft, Sissel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
    • Trans-oceanic genomic divergence of Atlantic cod ecotypes is associated with large inversions 

      Berg, Paul Ragnar; Star, Bastiaan; Pampoulie, Christophe; Bradbury, Ian R.; Bentzen, Paul; Hutchings, Jeffrey; Jentoft, Sissel; Jakobsen, Kjetill Sigurd (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Chromosomal rearrangements such as inversions can play a crucial role in maintaining polymorphism underlying complex traits and contribute to the process of speciation. In Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), inversions of several ...
