• Co-diversification of an intestinal Mycoplasma and its salmonid host 

      Rasmussen, Jacob A.; Kiilerich, Pia; Madhun, Abdullah Sami; Waagbø, Rune; Lock, Erik Jan Robert; Madsen, Lise; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Kristiansen, Karsten; Limborg, Morten T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Understanding the evolutionary relationships between a host and its intestinal resident bacteria can transform how we understand adaptive phenotypic traits. The interplay between hosts and their resident bacteria inevitably ...
    • Genome-resolved metagenomics suggests a mutualistic relationship between Mycoplasma and salmonid hosts 

      Rasmussen, Jacob A.; Villumsen, Kasper Rømer; Duchêne, David; Puetz, Lara; Delmont, Tom; Sveier, Harald; von Gersdorff Jørgensen, Louise; Præbel, Kim; Martin, Michael David; Bojesen, Anders Miki; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Kristiansen, Karsten; Limborg, Morten T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Salmonids are important sources of protein for a large proportion of the human population. Mycoplasma species are a major constituent of the gut microbiota of salmonids, often representing the majority of microbiota. Despite ...
    • Kouprey (Bos sauveli) genomes unveil polytomic origin of wild Asian Bos 

      Sinding, Mikkel-Holger S.; Ciucani, Marta M.; Ramos-Madrigal, Jazmín; Carmagnini, Alberto; Rasmussen, Jacob A.; Feng, Shaohong; Chen, Guangji; Vieira, Filipe G.; Mattiangeli, Valeria; Ganjoo, Rajinder K.; Larson, Greger; Sicheritz-Pontén, Thomas; Petersen, Bent; Frantz, Laurent A.F.; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Bradley, Daniel G. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The evolution of the genera Bos and Bison, and the nature of gene flow between wild and domestic species, is poorly understood, with genomic data of wild species being limited. We generated two genomes from the likely ...
    • Microbiome “Inception”: an Intestinal Cestode Shapes a Hierarchy of Microbial Communities Nested within the Host 

      Brealey, Jaelle; Lecaudey, Laurene Alicia; Kodama, Miyako; Rasmussen, Jacob A.; Sveier, Harald; Dheilly, Nolwenn M.; Martin, Michael David; Limborg, Morten Tønsberg (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    • Molecular parallelisms between pigmentation in the avian iris and the integument of ectothermic vertebrates 

      Andrade, Pedro; Gazda, Małgorzata A.; Araújo, Pedro M.; Afonso, Sandra; Rasmussen, Jacob A.; Marques, Cristiana I.; Lopes, Ricardo J.; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Carneiro, Miguel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Birds exhibit striking variation in eye color that arises from interactions between specialized pigment cells named chromatophores. The types of chromatophores present in the avian iris are lacking from the integument of ...
