the first call dedicated to systems biology by the Research Council of
Norway. DigiSal will promote sustainable growth of salmon farming by
building model-based knowledge about how salmon responds to novel
sustainable feed ingredients. This project combines nutritional
expertise, cutting-edge salmon genomics, high-throughput omics
technologies and model-based analysis of omics data.</span></p>
