(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)The main objective of the present study is to describe and compare the morphology of the female genitalia within a selected number of species and families of the lower Diptera. The results are presented as two papers with ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)Malignant melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer which urgently requires new and efficient treatment strategies. A novel targeted agent for advanced melanoma, vemurafenib, has shown high response rates among patients ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)Speciation involves the evolution of reproductive barriers that maintain the genetic integrity of species. Premating barriers, in particular, have been referred to as one of the most important mechanisms in keeping species ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2016)
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2019)The INFLORESCENCE DEFICIENT IN ABSCISSION (IDA)/IDA-LIKE gene family encodes peptides hypothesized to be involved in different cell-separation events in plants. A phylogenetic analysis was performed to elucidate the ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background The expansion of offshore oil exploration increases the risk of marine species being exposed to oil pollution in currently pristine areas. The adverse effects of oil exposure through toxic ...
-
Gene pleiotropy constrains gene expression changes in fish adapted to different thermal conditions (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Understanding the factors that shape the evolution of gene expression is a central goal in biology, but the molecular mechanisms behind this remain controversial. A related major goal is ascertaining how such factors may ...

Genetic and molecular analysis of the functional role of the AGL36 MADS-box Type I transcription factorRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)In angiosperms, seed development is a tightly regulated process often involving different epigenetic mechanisms such as a phenomenon known as imprinting that regulates parental gene expression in a parent-of-origin-dependent ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Divergent selection pressures induced by different environmental conditions typically lead to variation in life history, behavior, and morphology. When populations are locally adapted to their current environment, selection ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)Sorghum is ranked the fifth most produced food crop in the world, and is a dietary staple for over 500 million people in over 30 countries. It is the second most produced food crop in Africa, where cultivation of local ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2018)The genomic landscape of a hybrid species is marked by alternating regions of parental inheritance and areas of genomic constraint which form reproductive barriers. A PhD candidate at the University of Oslo has explored ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Recent large-scale undertakings such as ENCODE and Roadmap Epigenomics have generated experimental data mapped to the human reference genome (as genomic tracks) representing a variety of functional elements ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2018)
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2019)microRNAs (miRNAs) are short RNA molecules, which post-transcriptionally regulate other genes. They are generated from genome-encoded single-stranded hairpin structures, by a set of RNA-processing enzymes. miRNAs are highly ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2019)Whole exome sequencing was performed to identify putative disease-causing variants in a girl with macrocephaly, epilepsy and severe mental retardation, who had an unknown molecular diagnosis. Compound heterozygous SZT2 ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)Background: Tumor-infiltrating immune cells analyzed by immunohistochemistry are reported as alternative prognostic factors to supplement TNM staging in operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but little is done by ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)Phytoplankton acclimates to irradiance by regulating the cellular content of light-harvesting complexes, which are nitrogen (N) rich and phosphorus (P) poor. Irradiance is thus hypothesised to influence the cellular N : P ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2021)Nanoparticles are small particles in the nanometer size range, undetectable by the human eye. Nowadays nanoparticles are investigated as carriers of therapeutic drugs to increase treatment effect and minimize side effects ...
