• 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 ...
    • Evolutionary redesign of the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) Toll-like receptor repertoire by gene losses and expansions 

      Solbakken, Monica Hongrø; Tørresen, Ole Kristian; Nederbragt, Alexander Johan; Seppola, Marit; Gregers, Tone Fredsvik; Jakobsen, Kjetill Sigurd; Jentoft, Sissel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      Genome sequencing of the teleost Atlantic cod demonstrated loss of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class II, an extreme gene expansion of MHC class I and gene expansions and losses in the innate pattern recognition ...
    • 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. ...
    • Whole genome sequencing data and de novo draft assemblies for 66 teleost species
