(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2017)Faithful chromosome segregation during mitosis relies on a proofreading mechanism that monitors proper kinetochore-microtubule attachments. The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) is based on the concerted action of numerous ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)We present the results of an inventory and status assessment of alien species in Norway. The inventory covered all known multicellular neobiota, 2496 in total, 1039 of which were classified as naturalised. The latter ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)1. Due to globalisation, trade and transport, the spread of alien species is increasing dramatically. Some alien species become ecologically harmful by threatening native biota. This can lead to irreversible changes in ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)Cytokinesis is the final step of cell division that leads to the physical separation of two daughter cells by abscission. It is now well established that several components of endosomal machineries are involved in cytokinesis ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2021)ALG2-interacting protein X, or ALIX, is an adaptor protein involved in many cellular processes. Recently, ALIX has been linked to the primary cilium, an organelle protruding from most cell types during the G0/G1 phase of ...

AlkB homologs in metazoans – an applied bioinformatics and experimental DNA/RNA repair studyRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)Abstract E. coli AlkB protein was discovered three decades ago and is known to be involved in direct damage reversal of methylation lesions in DNA and RNA through oxidative demethylation. The protein belongs to the superfamily ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)ABSTRACT Establishment of the pluripotency regulatory network in somatic cells by introducing four transcription factors [octamer binding transcription factor 4 (OCT4; also known as POU5F1), sex determining region ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) and metals are important contaminants in road runoff. Vital mitigation measures against aquatic contamination from road runoff include the use of sedimentation ponds. However, it has ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Abstract Glycosylation of multiple proteins via O-linkage is well documented in bacterial species of Neisseria of import to human disease. Recent studies of protein glycosylation (pgl) gene distribution established ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)DNA polymerase III mis-insertion may, where not corrected by its 3′→ 5′ exonuclease or the mismatch repair (MMR) function, result in all possible non-cognate base pairs in DNA generating base substitutions. The most ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Freshwater colonization by threespine stickleback has led to divergence in morphology between ancestral marine and derived freshwater populations, making them ideal for studying natural selection on phenotypes. In an open ...
-
Allopatric speciation and multi-trait variation in the common chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs) complex (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)The common chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs) is a widespread passerine species in the West Palearctic, and is a common breeder in most of Europe, western Asia, northern Africa, and the Macaronesian islands in the Atlantic ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Among the major unresolved questions in ecosystem evolution are whether coevolving multispecies communities are dominated more by biotic or by abiotic factors, and whether evolutionary stasis affects performance as well ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Genome-wide association studies have implicated many ion channels in schizophrenia pathophysiology. Although the functions of these channels are relatively well characterized by single-cell studies, the contributions of ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)Studies on the consequences of ocean acidification for the marine ecosystem have revealed behavioural changes in coral reef fishes exposed to sustained near-future CO2 levels. The changes have been linked to altered function ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)Puwainaphycins (PUWs) and minutissamides (MINs) are structurally analogous cyclic lipopeptides possessing cytotoxic activity. Both types of compound exhibit high structural variability, particularly in the fatty acid (FA) ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)KRAS mutation is a well‐known marker for poor response to targeted treatment and patient prognosis in microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC). However, variation in clinical outcomes among patients wild‐type ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Many plant and animal species are changing their latitudinal and/or altitudinal distributions in response to climate change, but whether fungi show similar changes is largely unknown. Here, we use historical fungal fruit ...

-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2022)The accumulation of pathogenic amyloid proteins is a common theme of many neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia. One of the main hallmarks of the disease is the ...
