Journal ArticleDOI

The Atlantic salmon genome provides insights into rediploidization

TL;DR: It is found that genes that were retained as duplicates after the teleost-specific whole-genome duplication 320 million years ago were not more likely to be retained after the Ss4R, and that the duplicate retention was not influenced to a great extent by the nature of the predicted protein interactions of the gene products.
Journal ArticleDOI

MHC polymorphism and disease resistance in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar); facing pathogens with single expressed major histocompatibility class I and class II loci

TL;DR: It is found that there are highly significant associations between resistance towards infectious diseases caused by both pathogens and MH class I and class II polymorphism in Atlantic salmon.
Journal ArticleDOI

Validation of Reference Genes for Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Studies in Atlantic Salmon

TL;DR: Between tissues, 18S and EF1A were most stable, RPL1 and RPL2 were intermediate, and G6PDH and ACTB and B2M were the least stable, but only 18S had constant expression in infected cells; the rest significantly down-regulated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The major histocompatibility class I locus in Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar L.): polymorphism, linkage analysis and protein modelling

TL;DR: Protein modelling of several Sasa-UBA alleles shows distinct differences in their peptide binding domains and enables a further understanding of the functionality of the high polymorphism, which strengthens the claim that SaaB is the major Mhc class I locus in Atlantic salmon.
