(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)Next generation sequencing of ribosomal DNA is increasingly used to assess the diversity and structure of microbial communities. Here we test the ability of 454 pyrosequencing to detect the number of species present, and ...

A new method to quantify the accuracy of classification and spatial delineation in land cover mapsRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2018)Land cover maps provide spatial information on the physical cover of the earth. With increasing strain on natural resources, these maps enable knowledge-based nature management. Such maps represent a generalization of ...

Aberrant m6A regulation in Alkbh5 deficient mice results in increased DNA methylation and altered gene expressionRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) absorbs a substantial fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in boreal lakes. However, few studies have systematically estimated how this light absorption influences ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background Mice lacking glycosylated lysosomal membrane protein (Glmp gt/gt mice) have liver fibrosis as the predominant phenotype due to chronic liver injury. The Glmp gt/gt mice grow and reproduce at the same rate as ...
-
(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 ...
-
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, 2016)Background Bergmann’s rule proposes that animals in cold habitats will be larger than those in warm habitats. This prediction has been tested thoroughly at the intraspecific level, but few studies have ...

An investigation of the functional role of the MADS-box γ and MADS-box α type I transcription factors: AGAMOUS-LIKE 28 and AGAMOUS-LIKE 36Restricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2013)We investigated two proteins. PKC iota and zeta, that are involved in cancer development and metastasis of tumors. I was able to show that both proteins underly different regulation regarding their nuclear import in cells. ...

Analysis of the role of four members of the NEDD4 family of E3 ubiquitin ligases in the modulation of growth characteristics of LoVo colon cancer cellsRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2017)
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Zoonoses are increasingly recognized as an important burden on global public health in the 21st century. High-resolution, long-term field studies are critical for assessing both the baseline and future risk scenarios in a ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Caspases are key enzymes responsible for mediating apoptotic cell death. Across species, caspase‐2 is the most conserved caspase and stands out due to unique features. Apart from cell death, caspase‐2 also regulates ...

Assessing the flower visitation to soybean (Glycine max) and different sampling methods in an intensive agricultural system of the Argentinian PampasRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2017)
-
Atg8 Proteins in Autophagy and Death Receptor-Induced Apoptosis in Prostate Cancer CellsRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)Autophagy and apoptosis are two important cellular processes, whose dysfunctions are involved in many severe diseases, including cancer. Bulk autophagy is typically mediated by the sequestration of cytoplasmic material ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Background: Ticks and tick-borne diseases are increasing in many areas of Europe and North America due to climate change, while land use and the increased abundances of large hosts play a more controversial role. The pattern ...

Bayesian phylogenetic estimation of clade ages supports trans-Atlantic dispersal of cichlid fishes (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Divergence-time estimation based on molecular phylogenies and the fossil record has provided insights into fundamental questions of evolutionary biology. In Bayesian node dating, phylogenies are commonly time calibrated ...
