Characterization of unknown genetic modifications using high throughput sequencing and computational subtraction (2009)

Tengs, Torstein, Zhang, Haibo, Holst-Jensen, Arne, Bohlin, Jon, Butenko, Melinka A, Kristoffersen, Anja, ...

Abstract Background When generating a genetically modified organism (GMO), the primary goal is to give a target organism one or several novel traits by using biotechnology techniques. A GMO will...

Microarray-based method for detection of unknown genetic modifications (2007)

Tengs, Torstein, Kristoffersen, Anja B, Berdal, Knut G, Thorstensen, Tage, Butenko, Melinka A, Nesvold, Håvard, ...

Abstract Background Due to the increased use of genetic modifications in crop improvement, there is a need to develop effective methods for the detection of both known and unknown transgene...

Heterotachy Processes in Rhodophyte-Derived Second-Hand Plastid Genes: Implications for Addressing the Origin and Evolution of Dinoflagellate Plastids (2006)

Shalchian-Tabrizi, Kamran, Skånseng, Marianne, Ronquist, Fredrik, Klaveness, Dag, Bachvaroff, Tsvetan R., Delwiche, Charles F., ...

Serial transfer of plastids from one eukaryotic host to another is the key process involved in creation of second-hand plastids. Such transfers drastically change the environment of the plastids and...

Statistical Analysis of Genomic Tag Data (2004)

LaFramboise, Thomas L, Hayes, D. Neil, Tengs, Torstein

We present a series of statistical solutions to challenges that commonly arise in the production and analysis of genomic tag libraries. Tag libraries are collections of fragments of DNA or RNA, with...

Genomic representations using concatenates of Type IIB restriction endonuclease digestion fragments (2004)

Tengs, Torstein, LaFramboise, Thomas, Den, Robert B., Hayes, David N., Zhang, Jianhua, DebRoy, Saikat, ...

We have developed a method for genomic representation using Type IIB restriction endonucleases. Representation by concatenation of restriction digests, or RECORD, is an approach to sample the...

Phylogenetic Analyses Indicate that the 19'Hexanoyloxy-fucoxanthin-Containing Dinoflagellates Have Tertiary Plastids of Haptophyte Origin (2000)

Tengs, Torstein, Dahlberg, Ole J., Shalchian-Tabrizi, Kamran, Klaveness, Dag, Rudi, Knut, Delwiche, Charles F., ...

The three anomalously pigmented dinoflagellates Gymnodinium galatheanum, Gyrodinium aureolum, and Gymnodinium breve have plastids possessing 19′-hexanoyloxy-fucoxanthin as the major carotenoid...

Development of Real-Time PCR Assays for Rapid Detection of Pfiesteria piscicida and Related Dinoflagellates†

Bowers, Holly A., Tengs, Torstein, Glasgow, Howard B., Burkholder, JoAnn M., Rublee, Parke A., Oldach, David W.

Pfiesteria complex species are heterotrophic and mixotrophic dinoflagellates that have been recognized as harmful algal bloom species associated with adverse fish and human health effects along the...

Discovery of the toxic dinoflagellate Pfiesteria in northern European waters.

Jakobsen, Kjetill S, Tengs, Torstein, Vatne, Andreas, Bowers, Holly A, Oldach, David W, Burkholder, JoAnn M, ...

Several dinoflagellate strains of the genus Pfiesteria were isolated by culturing techniques from sediment samples taken in the Oslofjord region of Norway. Pfiesteria piscicida, well known as a fish...
