By generating CRISPR-mediated elovl2 knockout, we are planning to study the crucial role of elovl2 for multi-tissue synthesis of 22:6n-3 in vivo. Endogenously synthesized PUFAs are important for transcriptional regulation of lipogenic genes in Atlantic salmon. This study demonstrates key roles of elovl2 at two penultimate steps of PUFA synthesis in vivo and suggests Srebp-1 as a main regulator of endogenous PUFA synthesis in Atlantic salmon.

Total lipids are extracted from tissues of white muscle, liver and whole brain from three fish per dietary treatment.

The three different CRISPR target sites within the elovl2 gene (T1-3) were characterised by Sanger sequencing, sequencing on average 8 clones per individual.

RNAseq is utilised to validate the SnpEff annotation predictions for aberrant splicing. For this purpose the percentage exon retention for exons 4, 6 and 7 are calculated using RNAseq data.

Stranded RNAseq libraries were prepared from 1µg total RNA from liver tissue using TruSeq Stranded mRNA library preparation kit (Illumina, San Diego, USA) using double unique indices (#20022371), according to the manufacturer's instruction (Part 15031057 Rev.E). Libraries were sequenced at the Norwegian Sequencing Centre (NSC). All libraries were pooled, and the same pool was sequenced on 4 flow cell lanes on a HiSeq 3000 machine (Illumina), generating 100bp single-end reads.

Abstract:

How do you communicate a complex research endeavour in simple words and pictures using only two minutes? In my case that turned out to be scientifically impossible, but we managed to shave it down to three. This poster shows and tells how we went about it.

Three-minute presentation of the Digital Salmon research programme. Explains the societal challenge of sustainable fish feed, how systems biology helps speed up the search for better solutions, and the grand aim to build a library of mathematical models of salmon physiology linked to omics data.

My graduation project presentation given on 22 of June at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen in The Netherlands.

Improve project deployment by letting your team focus on code quality instead of fixes problems. Spend more time on new features and let your project progress getting tested automatically.

Abstracts and posters from DigiSal for Digital Life 2018.

Our 2018 DigiSal project meeting is held as a satellite meeting of Digital Life 2018 (https://digitallifenorway.org/arrangementer/digitallife-2018).

Most of DS18 will be spent on breakout sessions to work on upcoming publications. Task leaders will prepare:

* Abstracts to DLN18. (Deadline was 15 Feb.) Presenting DigiSal progress here rather than at DS18 frees up time for the paper preparation sessions.

* Identify two papers in preparation, which will be worked on at DS18: Title, first and
