En gang var torsken i Oslofjorden tallrik. Den var hverdagsmat og levebrød, og berget folk gjennom tøffe vintre. Nå finnes det knapt kjønnsmoden torsk i Indre Oslofjord. Har torsken en fremtid i fjord...

Job title: Head Engineer in ancient DNA (298943), Employer: University of Oslo, Deadline: Tuesday, May 12, 2026

Genetic diversity within species underpins evolutionary adaptation and has recently been included as a target for protection in the United Nations’...

Background Genome evolvability involves activation of transposable elements (TEs) that result in novel genomic rearrangements, including translocations, deletions, duplications, as well as larger stru...

Replicated hybrid zones between ecotypes established over within shore environmental gradients provide an opportunity to study the genomic architecture of barriers to gene flow. The marine snail Litto...

Transposable elements (TEs) are repetitive DNA sequences that can alter their position and abundance within genomes. While TEs are known to have various impacts on genome structure and function, our u...

Phylogenetic variation, recombination rate evolution, and comparative genome structure and organization have typically been explored in isolation. The chromosomal and genomic context of selected genet...

The reshuffling of genomic variation from multiple origins is an important contributor to phenotypic diversification, yet insights into the evolutionary trajectories of this combinatorial process and ...

Background Whole-genome sequencing efforts, have during the past decade, unveiled the central role of genomic rearrangements—such as chromosomal inversions—in evolutionary processes, including local a...

The U.K. government has rejected calls to fully ban bottom trawling in its offshore marine protected areas, despite evidence that the fishing practice tears up seabed habitats and releases large…

Climate-driven changes in the Subarctic will directly impact capelin populations and the ecosystem they inhabit, including their predators, prey, and physical habitats. Consequently, incorporating eco...

This study discovered that locally confined DNA differences boost crossover rates in both Arabidopsis and maize, revealing a conserved mechanism that can accelerate plant breeding and trait introgress...

Torsken er ikke genmanipulert. Endringene er menneskeskapte, ifølge ny forskning.

Norge skal fortsatt være en av verdens fremste polarforskningsnasjoner. Det er viktig for å ivareta Norges sikkerhet og geopolitiske interesser, og for å håndtere og forstå raske klimaendringer. Derfo...

Skreien er annerledes i dag enn for 100 år siden. Torsken er ikke genmanipulert. Endringene er menneskeskapte, ifølge ny forskning.

Regjeringen trikser med tall i striden om den planlagte sprengstoffabrikken, mener lederen for det lokale Naturvernforbundet. Regjeringen avviser kritikken.

Next-generation-sequencing has broadened perspectives regarding the estimation of the effective population size (Ne) by providing high-density genomic information. These technologies have expanded da...

The delay between disturbance events and genetic responses within populations is a common but surprisingly overlooked phenomenon in ecology and evolut…

Retrospective assessment of the iconic migratory Atlantic cod uncovers human-induced genome-wide changes during the last century.

Naturvernforbundet er ikke prinsipielt imot Chemrings etablering av ny sprengstoffindustri, selv om det er uunngåelig at det vil få negative konsekvenser for natur og friluftsliv. Dersom en slik fabri...

Adaptive phenotypic plasticity allows organisms to display distinct phenotypes in response to variable environments, but little is known about the genomic changes that promote the evolution of plastic...

En ny sprengstoffabrikk ved Oslofjorden vil være en hån mot innbyggerne, mener Une Bastholm i MDG.

Abstract. Mitochondrial (mt) genes are the subject of many adaptive hypotheses due to the key role of mitochondria in energy production and metabolism. One
