Genomic evidence of early-diverging domesticated lineages in Norwegian farmhouse yeast

Michael Dondrup, Atle Ove Martinussen, Lisa Karine Haugland, Jonas Brandenburg, Oya Inanli, Abdelhameed Elameen, David Dolan, Sushma Nagaraja Grellscheid, Snorre B. Hagen, Hannes Schroeder, Tor Myking, Hans Geir Eiken

The paper sequenced Norwegian farmhouse yeasts to study their genetic diversity and domestication history, finding they form an early diverging lineage with distinct phylogenetic and population genetic characteristics.

Traditional Norwegian Kveik Yeast: An Ancient Sister Group to Domesticated Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Michael Dondrup, Hans Geir Eiken, Atle Ove Martinussen, Lisa Karine Haugland, Rita Holdhus, David Dolan, Sushma Nagaraja Grellscheid, Snorre B. Hagen, Abdelhameed Elameen, Tor Myking

This study reanalyzes the phylogenetic position of traditional Norwegian kveik yeast within Saccharomyces cerevisiae, finding it to be an ancient clade closer to the root of the species tree.

Gene co-expression networks identify novel candidate genes for moulting and development in the Atlantic salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)

Zhaoran Zhou, Christiane Eichner, Frank Nilsen, Inge Jonassen, Michael Dondrup

The paper identifies novel candidate genes for moulting and development in the salmon louse using gene co-expression networks and validates them via RNA interference.

Host gill attachment enables blood-feeding by the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) chalimus larvae and alters parasite development and transcriptome

Erna Irene Heggland, Michael Dondrup, Frank Nilsen, Christiane Eichner

The paper investigates how blood-feeding by salmon lice affects their development and transcriptome, finding gene expression changes associated with different feeding stages and locations.
