I am excited by the use of new technologies to answer questions in Genomics. Over the last 15 years, steadily improving sequencing platforms have transformed our ability to reconstruct complex genomes, detect genetic variation, and annotate genomes with functional information; information that is essential to understand the links between DNA and biology. Today, I am especially interested in long-read nanopore sequencing, high-throughput genotyping, functional genomic assays and CRISPR for establishing links between gene and function. However molecular genomic technologies are highly dynamic and the instrumentation and applications are constantly being refined and improved making it exciting to watch for the “next big thing”. Currently I am involved in several large projects looking at developing genomics resources in six commercial fish species (AQUA-FAANG), exploring the research potential of CRISPR in livestock species (GENEinnovate) and describing structural variants (CAUSATIVE), identifying mechanisms for sealice resistance (LiceRESIST).

    EcoGene – Økonomiske og biologiske virkninger, muligheter og risiko ved bruk av nye genredigeringsverktøy i moderne bioproduksjon
    EcoGene ser på bruk av nye genredigeringsverktøy som CRISPR i f.eks. i lakse- og kjøttproduksjonen. Vi vil studere eventuelle uønskede genetiske effekter og kartlegge økonomiske og verdibaserte konsekvenser av eventuell bruk av genredigeringsverktøy.

    TRANSPOSE
    TRANSPOSE will use salmonid fishes, which have a high load of TEs in their genome, as a model system to understand the functional roles of TEs in vertebrate evolution.
