      Le Doujet, Typhaine; De Santi, Concetta; Klemetsen, Terje; Hjerde, Erik; Willassen, Nils Peder; Haugen, Peik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-17)
      <p><i>Background - </i>The population of Atlantic cod (<i>Gadus morhua</i>), also known as Northeast Arctic cod, migrating Atlantic cod, or simply “skrei,” lives mainly in the Barents Sea and Svalbard waters and migrates in annual cycles to the Norwegian coast in order to spawn eggs during late winter. It is the world’s largest population of Atlantic cod, and the population is distinct from the ...

      Evaluating metagenomic software is key for optimizing metagenome interpretation and focus of the Initiative for the Critical Assessment of Metagenome Interpretation (CAMI). The CAMI II challenge engaged the community to assess methods on realistic and complex datasets with long- and short-read sequences, created computationally from around 1,700 new and known genomes, as well as 600 new plasmids ...
    • D3.3 (M18) - Report on curation in core ELIXIR registries (an ELIXIR Norway ELIXIR3 deliverable) 

      Bösl, Korbinian Michael; Fatima, Nazeefa; Gundersen, Sveinung; Klemetsen, Terje; Petters, Sebastian; Åberg, Espen (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2023-10-01)
      This report serves as an update on the progress of WP3 Task 3.4 in ELIXIR3, in support of curation efforts on content in repositories of metadata, datasets, tools, training, workflows, and other resources, in line with the ELIXIR Platforms. The report documents progress made, methods used, and plans for the near future as of month 18 of a 48-month timeline. ELIXIR Norway extends support to numerous ...
    • Developing the MAR databases – Augmenting Genomic Versatility of Sequenced Marine Microbiota 

      Klemetsen, Terje (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-12-10)
      This thesis introduces the MAR databases as marine-specific resources in the genomic landscape. Paper 1 describes the curation effort and development leading to the MAR databases being created. It results in the highly valued reference database MarRef, the broader MarDB, and the marine gene catalog MarCat. Definition of a marine environment, the curation process, and the Marine Metagenomics Portal ...
    • FAIR+E pathogen data for surveillance and research: lessons from COVID-19 

      Neves, Aitana; Cuesta, Isabel; Hjerde, Erik; Klemetsen, Terje; Salgado, David; van Helden, Jacques; Rahman, Nadim; Fatima, Nazeefa; Karathanasis, Nestoras; Zmora, Pawel; Åkerström, Wolmar Nyberg; Grellscheid, Sushma Nagaraja; Waheed, Zahra; Blomberg, Niklas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-21)
      The COVID-19 pandemic has exemplified the importance of interoperable and equitable data sharing for global surveillance and to support research. While many challenges could be overcome, at least in some countries, many hurdles within the organizational, scientific, technical and cultural realms still remain to be tackled to be prepared for future threats. We propose to (i) continue supporting global ...
    • Full‐length 16S rRNA gene classification of Atlantic salmon bacteria and effects of using different 16S variable regions on community structure analysis 

      Klemetsen, Terje; Willassen, Nils Peder; Karlsen, Christian René (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-04)
      Understanding fish‐microbial relationships may be of great value for fish producers as fish growth, development and welfare are influenced by the microbial community associated with the rearing systems and fish surfaces. Accurate methods to generate and analyze these microbial communities would be an important tool to help improve understanding of microbial effects in the industry. In this study, ...
    • An Insight into the Aliivibrio genus. A comparative study on relationships and traits of species within the genus Aliivibrio 

      Klemetsen, Terje (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-18)
      Few studies have emphasized on the genus Aliivibrio as a whole and lags behind the better known Vibrio. Nevertheless, the Aliivibrio has for several decades been associated with species expressing bioluminescence like the Aliivibrio fischeri, but has also been linked to costly diseases in the fish farming industry such as Aliivibrio salmonicida. In an attempt to gain insight in the genus on a ...
    • The MAR databases: development and implementation of databases specific for marine metagenomics 

      Klemetsen, Terje; Raknes, Inge A.; Fu, Juan; Agafonov, Alexander; Balasundaram, Sudhagar V.; Tartari, Giacomo; Robertsen, Espen; Willassen, Nils Peder (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-02)
      We introduce the marine databases; <i>MarRef, MarDB</i> and <i>MarCat</i> (https://mmp.sfb.uit.no/databases/), which are publicly available resources that promote marine research and innovation. These data resources, which have been implemented in the Marine Metagenomics Portal (MMP) (https://mmp.sfb.uit.no/), are collections of richly annotated and manually curated contextual (metadata) and sequence ...
    • Pan genome and CRISPR analyses of the bacterial fish pathogen Moritella viscosa 

      Karlsen, Christian; Hjerde, Erik; Klemetsen, Terje; Willassen, Nils Peder (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-20)
      Background: Winter-ulcer Moritella viscosa infections continue to be a significant burden in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) farming. M. viscosa comprises two main clusters that differ in genetic variation and phenotypes including virulence. Horizontal gene transfer through acquisition and loss of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) is a major driving force of bacterial diversification. To gain insight ...
    • Phylogenetic Revision of the Genus Aliivibrio: Intra- and Inter-Species Variance Among Clusters Suggest a Wider Diversity of Species 

      Klemetsen, Terje; Karlsen, Christian René; Willassen, Nils Peder (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-18)
      Genus Aliivibrio is known to harbor species exhibiting bioluminescence as well as pathogenic behavior affecting the fish farming industry. Current phylogenetic understanding of Aliivibrio has largely remained dormant after reclassification disentangled it from the Vibrio genus in 2007. There is growing evidence of wider diversity, but until now the lack of genomes and selective use of type strains ...
