• Genomic context determines the effect of DNA methylation on gene expression in the gut epithelium of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) 

      Katirtzoglou, Aikaterini; Hansen, Søren B.; Sveier, Harald; Martin, Michael David; Brealey, Jaelle C.; Limborg, Morten T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      The canonical view of DNA methylation, a pivotal epigenetic regulation mechanism in eukaryotes, dictates its role as a suppressor of gene activity, particularly within promoter regions. However, this view is being challenged ...
    • Host-gut microbiota interactions shape parasite infections in farmed Atlantic salmon 

      Brealey, Jaelle Caitlin; Kodama, Miyako; Agerbo Rasmussen, Jacob; Hansen, Søren B.; Santos-Bay, Luisa; Lecaudey, Laurene Alicia; Hansen, Martin; Fjære, Even; Myrmel, Lene Secher; Madsen, Lise; Bernhard, Annette; Sveier, Harald; Kristiansen, Karsten; Gilbert, M Thomas P; Martin, Michael David; Limborg, Morten Tønsberg (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Animals and their associated microbiota share long evolutionary histories. However, it is not always clear how host genotype and microbiota interact to affect phenotype. We applied a hologenomic approach to explore how ...
    • Intestinal epigenotype of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) associates with tenacibaculosis and gut microbiota composition 

      Hansen, Søren B.; Bozzi, Davide; Mak, Sarah S.T.; Clausen, Cecilie G.; Nielsen, Tue K.; Kodama, Miyako; Hansen, Lars H.; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Limborg, Morten T. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      It remains a challenge to obtain the desired phenotypic traits in aquacultural production of Atlantic salmon, and part of the challenge might come from the effect that host-associated microorganisms have on the fish ...
