Simen Rød Sandve

I am broadly interested in how genomes evolve, and how genomic variation gives rise to phenotypic variation, adaptation, and the emergence of novel traits. I have contributed to several large-scale international genome sequencing efforts — including bread wheat, Atlantic salmon, and the Earth BioGenome Project — with a particular focus on how genome duplication shapes the evolution of gene regulation. My current research spans the evolutionary consequences of whole-genome duplication, the biology and genetics of smoltification, host–gut microbe interactions, and fungal genomics.
