(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2008)Alzheimers sykdom, Parkinsons sykdom og hjerneslag er assosiert med nevrodegenerering i visse deler av hjernen. Overstimulering av glutamatreseptorer med medfølgende produksjon av frie radikaler har blitt foreslått å være ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2009)Background Cyanobacteria often produce several different oligopeptides, with unknown biological functions, by nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS). Although some cyanobacterial NRPS gene cluster types ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2011)Background Methane oxidizing prokaryotes in marine sediments are believed to function as a methane filter reducing the oceanic contribution to the global methane emission. In the anoxic parts of the sediments, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2010)Background Cardiomyopathy syndrome (CMS) is a severe disease affecting large farmed Atlantic salmon. Mortality often appears without prior clinical signs, typically shortly prior to slaughter. We recently ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2010)Background Plastid replacements through secondary endosymbioses include massive transfer of genes from the endosymbiont to the host nucleus and require a new targeting system to enable transport of the ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2012)Bioaccumulation of sediment‐associated polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was examined in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) through direct diffusion from the sediment (via the water phase) and through the food chain (dietary ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2009)Background: Large multigene sequence alignments have over recent years been increasingly employed for phylogenomic reconstruction of the eukaryote tree of life. Such supermatrices of sequence data are preferred over single ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2012)Background Interstitial Cystitis (IC) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the bladder with unknown etiology. The aim of this study was to characterize the microbial community present in the urine from ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2006)Background The endemic Hawaiian mints represent a major island radiation that likely originated from hybridization between two North American polyploid lineages. In contrast with the extensive morphological ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2009)Background In order to understand the role of herbivores in trophic webs, it is essential to know what they feed on. Diet analysis is, however, a challenge in many small herbivores with a secretive life ...

-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2012)Aposematic prey use conspicuous warning signals to advertise their defenses to predators. It has long been recognized that the efficiency of a warning signal may be reduced if poorly defended prey (automimics) are present ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2011)Background Urine within the urinary tract is commonly regarded as "sterile" in cultivation terms. Here, we present a comprehensive in-depth study of bacterial 16S rDNA sequences associated with urine from ...

(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2011)
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2008)Background Identification of DNA sequence diversity is a powerful means for assessing the species present in environmental samples. The most common molecular strategies for estimating taxonomic composition ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2002)Mucosal surfaces are protected by polymeric immunoglobulins that are transported across the epithelium by the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR). Only polymeric IgA and IgM containing a small polypeptide called the ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2010)Klimaforandringer gir drastiske endringer i mengden av organisk karbon i innsjøer og vi imøtegår en fremtid med brunere vann. Det er en av konklusjonene til Søren Larsens doktorgradsavhandling som er utført ved Biologisk ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2007)Climate influences a population through a variety of processes, including reproduction, growth, migration patterns and phenology. Climate may operate either directly through metabolic and reproductive processes or indirectly ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2011)Background:The implementation of high throughput sequencing for exploring biodiversity poses high demands on bioinformatics applications for automated data processing. Here we introduce CLOTU, an online and open access ...
