European Food Safety Authority @EFSA_EU has just issued its draft scientific opinion on the use of gene editing in animals. It's pretty clear: "No new potential hazards, and thus, no new risks to humans, animals, or the environment are anticipated." connect.efsa.europa.eu/RM/s/consultat…

It was wonderful hosting Karen de Jong, our neighbor from the Institute of Marine Research 🌊 She shared her inspiring field work on noise pollution in the oceans, investigating its impact on local fish populations 🔊🐟 Thank you for sharing your time with us! @UiB @mchlab

New paper & PhD flashback! Led by Ross Cairnduff the paper looked at diverged genomic regions between anadromous & landlocked salmon. Specifically those linked with smoltification. One SNP showed an impact irrespective of fish size (most important trigger) bit.ly/3XmiXjb

Interested in how genomic data can help improve conservation assessments and population monitoring? Check out our paper in @EvolAppJournal where we outline background, provide a bioinformatic pipeline, and suggest an analytical framework🧵doi.org/10.1111/eva.70…

We have found genetic variation in Chr4 that links to probability to smoltify in salmon. bmcgenomdata.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

This is rich - one of the primary reasons scientists don't have a lot of time to think is that @nature and its ilk have promoted a culture where the primary goal of science is to produce bloated Nature papers that require lots of time and money, but little thought, to produce.

Restarting the process of approval of a sea cage experiment with genetically sterile fish, hoping for a scientifically sound evaluation kyst.no/crispr-havfors…

Sterility in aquaculture salmon can be achieved through triploidy, albeit with some fitness costs. @KleppeLene reveals a more elegant way to sterility: targeting specific genes using a variety of techniques from gene editing to RNA vaccines. @ICISBConference #icisb2024 🐟🧬

@BullCrys no we still need approval from Norwegian Environmental Agency🤞

@AWargelius Congratulations!!!! So this is a green light for open water trials?
