      The annual photoperiod cycle provides the critical environmental cue synchronizing rhythms of life in seasonal habitats. In 1936, Bünning proposed a circadian-based coincidence timer for photoperiodic synchronization in plants. Formal studies support the universality of this so-called coincidence timer, but we lack understanding of the mechanisms involved. Here we show in mammals that long photoperiods ...
    • Immunologic Profiling of the Atlantic Salmon Gill by Single Nuclei Transcriptomics 

      West, Alexander Christopher; Mizoro, Yasutaka; Wood, Shona; Ince, Louise M.; Iversen, Marianne; Jørgensen, Even Hjalmar; Nome, Torfinn; Sandve, Simen Rød; Martin, Samuel A. M.; Loudon, Andrew S. I.; Hazlerigg, David (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-04)
      Anadromous salmonids begin life adapted to the freshwater environments of their natal streams before a developmental transition, known as smoltification, transforms them into marine-adapted fish. In the wild, smoltification is a photoperiod-regulated process, involving radical remodeling of gill function to cope with the profound osmotic and immunological challenges of seawater (SW) migration. While ...
