How do genomes enable organisms to evolve, adapt, and persist?
We address these questions using population and comparative genomics, transcriptomics, gene-regulatory analysis, and evolutionary modelling.
Seminars and scientific exchange are welcome. Marie is happy to give talks at other institutions, and we welcome enquiries from researchers interested in visiting or speaking at NMBU.
Marie Saitou (BIOVIT, NMBU) is organizing a joint seminar with the Norwegian Veterinary Institute. Marie Saitou and Arturo Vera Ponce de León (BIOVIT, NMBU) will discuss human evolution and the Atlantic salmon gut microbiome, while Wasimuddin and Johanna Hol Fosse (Norwegian Veterinary Institute) will present research on microbiome dynamics and host–pathogen interactions in infectious salmon anaemia.
The seminar was hosted by Yunsung Lee.
Rytis will study telomere length and epigenetic aging, co-supervised by Yunsung Lee (Norwegian Institute of Public Health). Rahad will investigate cattle genes associated with resistance to bovine viral diarrhea virus, co-supervised by Victor Boyartchuk (Norwegian University of Life Sciences).
The lab website has moved from Google Sites to GitHub Pages.
