Drones and genetic information could revolutionise the breeding of lucerneBy combining drone technology, genomic data and advanced models, one of the world’s most important forage crops, lucerne, can be bred more quickly and efficiently.
From theory to practice: A forum for cross-sector collaboration towards a future that safeguards people, animals and natureMaster’s students in Circular Urban Agriculture, Angelika and Inger-Helene, have completed an internship with the organization Pådriv this semester, where they gained experience with hands-on project …
Understanding the mechanisms of recombination in Atlantic salmonA new PhD study provides insights into the diversity and evolution of the PRDM9 gene in Atlantic salmon. The findings reveal that variation in this gene underpin different patterns of recombination th…
Professor Bjørg Heringstad has been awarded the prestigious J. L. Lush Award in Animal Breeding for 2026The award is presented to researchers who have carried out outstanding work in the field of livestock breeding and genetics, with particular significance for the development of milk production.
How to Better Safeguard Genetic Diversity Using Genomic DataIn her doctoral research, Oda Braar Wæge demonstrates how genomic tools can be used to achieve genetic progress while limiting the loss of genetic diversity.
How early water temperatures are critical to shaping a fish’s futureNew research at NMBU reveals how and why precise water temperatures are important for proper development of Atlantic salmon organs during the early stages of their lives, with strong implications for …
Complex mutations influence evolution in Atlantic salmonAs Celian Diblasi reaches the end of his PhD at NMBU, his work provides new insight into how complex genetic changes have shaped evolution in Atlantic Salmon over time and in different world regions.
Education in aquaculture provides professional security in a growing industryFor Even Møller Haarberg, aquaculture is about more than technology, production and figures. It is also about living animals, animal welfare, the fishing industry and biological processes.
The role of biology in cow methane productionIn his doctoral work, Hendra Nur Cahyo has investigated how biological differences between cows and different feeding strategies affect methane emissions.
Tools for understanding how genetic differences affect important traitsThe aim of Dat Thanh Nguyen's doctoral work has been to create more accurate, efficient and scalable tools to link genetic variations to gene regulation, especially in the non-coding regions of the ge…
