November 2020

• Finally out! An interesting collaboration between animal breeders, microbiologist and a genome guy (me). We found no/little/weak effects of salmon genetics on gut microbiota composition but we did find significant associations between salmon metabolism phenotypes and the gut microbiome. Now out in Microbiome!

• A fun collaboration between quantitative geneticists and omics people (i.e. us) reveal genetic architecture of salmon metabolism! Published in GSE.

October 2020

• Happy to have been part of this exciting new paper in PLOS Genetics, led by Shona Wood and Alex West at UiT. What happends to the circadian clock genes after a genome duplication?

August 2020

• I gave a talk at the online EcoEvo Seminar series on regulatory evolution following WGD. If you are interested, you can watch it here:

• Welome Hanna and Domniki as new master students in the lab!

• After years in the making we are sharing our new manuscript (link here) about selection on gene expression after whole genome duplication. Great collaboration with the Hvidsten lab! 

April 2020

• New publication out in PLOS One, led by David Hazlerigg at UiT.We identify novel genes responsive to photoeriod changes in Atlantic salmon. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0227496

• New publication out in MEC led by Yang Jin. We study how domestication have shaped the liver transcriptome and lipid-metabolism regulation. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/mec.15446

January 2020

• New preprint out: We find associations between the gut microbiome and host metabolism in Atlantic salmon. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.10.941245v1

• Yes! We got the ImproveAFish project funded by NFR-havbruk. Together with Phil Pope, Torgeir Hvidsten (and others) we will interrogate host-microbiome interactions in Atlantic salmon.
