      The cold-adapted polar cod Boreogadus saida, a key species in Arctic ecosystems, is vulnerable to global warming and ice retreat. In this study, 1257 individuals sampled in 17 locations within the latitudinal range of 75–81°N from Svalbard to East Siberian Sea were genotyped with a dedicated suite of 116 single-nucleotide polymorphic loci (SNP). The overall pattern of isolation by distance (IBD) ...
    • Protein genes in repetitive sequence—antifreeze glycoproteins in Atlantic cod genome 

      Zhuang, Xuan; Yang, Chun; Fevolden, Svein-Erik; Cheng, Chi-Hing Christina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Highly repetitive sequences are the bane of genome sequence assembly, and the short read lengths produced by current next generation sequencing technologies further exacerbates this obstacle. An adopted practice is to exclude repetitive sequences in genome data assembly, as the majority of repeats lack protein-coding genes. However, this could result in the exclusion of important genotypes in newly ...
