Journal ArticleDOI

Haemoglobin polymorphisms affect the oxygen-binding properties in Atlantic cod populations

TL;DR: Two haemoglobin polymorphisms in Atlantic cod populations inhabiting varying temperature and oxygen regimes in the North Atlantic are discovered, illustrating convergent evolution in water- and air-breathing vertebrates to reduction in environmental oxygen availability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Myostatin (MSTN) gene duplications in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar): evidence for different selective pressure on teleost MSTN-1 and -2.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic analysis of multiple vertebrate MSTNs suggested at least two separate gene duplication events in the fish lineage, which may reflect the evolutionary forces related to adoption of the different functional roles proposed for the teleost MSTN isoforms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic organization and gene expression of the multiple globins in Atlantic cod: conservation of globin-flanking genes in chordates infers the origin of the vertebrate globin clusters

TL;DR: The fusion of the three chordate linkage groups 3, 15 and 17 more than 800 MYA led to the ancestral vertebrate globin cluster during a geological period of increased atmospheric oxygen content.
