  • Adding Complexity to Complexity: Gene Family Evolution in Polyploids 
    Mable, Barbara K.; Brysting, Anne Krag; Jørgensen, Marte H.; Carbonell, Anna K.Z.; Kiefer, Christiane; Ruiz-Duarte, Paola; Lagesen, Karin; Koch, Marcus A. (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
    Comparative genomics of non-model organisms has resurrected whole genome duplication (WGD) from being viewed as a somewhat obscure process that happens in plants to a primary driver of eukaryotic diversification. The shadow ...
  • CMG-Biotools, a Free Workbench for Basic Comparative Microbial Genomics 
    Vesth, Tammi; Lagesen, Karin; Acar, Öncel; Ussery, David (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)
    Background: Today, there are more than a hundred times as many sequenced prokaryotic genomes than were present in the year 2000. The economical sequencing of genomic DNA has facilitated a whole new approach to microbial ...
  • Comparisons of infant Escherichia coli isolates link genomic profiles with adaptation to the ecological niche 
    de Muinck, Eric J; Lagesen, Karin; Afset, Jan E; Didelot, Xavier; Rønningen, Kjersti S; Rudi, Knut; Stenseth, Nils C; Trosvik, Pål (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)
    Background Despite being one of the most intensely studied model organisms, many questions still remain about the evolutionary biology and ecology of Escherichia coli. An important step toward achieving a ...
  • From Green to Red: Horizontal Gene Transfer of the Phycoerythrin Gene Cluster between Planktothrix Strains 
    Tooming-Klunderud, Ave; Sogge, Hanne; Rounge, Trine Ballestad; Nederbragt, Alexander Johan; Lagesen, Karin; Glöckner, Gernot; Hayes, Paul K; Rohrlack, Thomas; Jakobsen, Kjetill Sigurd (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)
    Horizontal gene transfer is common in cyanobacteria, and transfer of large gene clusters may lead to acquisition of new functions and conceivably niche adaption. In the present study, we demonstrate that horizontal gene ...
  • NucDiff: in-depth characterization and annotation of differences between two sets of DNA sequences 
    Khelik, Ksenia; Lagesen, Karin; Sandve, Geir K; Rognes, Torbjørn; Nederbragt, Alexander J (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)
    Background Comparing sets of sequences is a situation frequently encountered in bioinformatics, examples being comparing an assembly to a reference genome, or two genomes to each other. The purpose of the ...
  • Polyether Ionophore Resistance in a One Health Perspective 
    Frederiksen, Rikki Franklin; Urdahl, Anne Margrete; Simm, Roger; Granstad, Silje; Slettemeås, Jannice Schau; Lagesen, Karin; Pikkemaat, mariel (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2024)
    Antimicrobial resistance is a major threat to human health and must be approached from a One Health perspective. Use of antimicrobials in animal husbandry can lead to dissemination and persistence of resistance in human ...
  • Use of high throughput sequencing and light microscopy show contrasting results in a study of phytoplankton occurrence in a freshwater environment 
    Xiao, Xi; Sogge, Hanne; Lagesen, Karin; Tooming-Klunderud, Ave; Jakobsen, Kjetill Sigurd; Rohrlack, Thomas (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
    Assessing phytoplankton diversity is of primary importance for both basic and applied ecological studies. Following the advances in molecular methods, phytoplankton studies are switching from using classical microscopy to ...
