Abstract:Animals and their associated microbiota share long evolutionary histories. Both host genotype and associated microbiota influence phenotypes such as growth and disease resilience. We applied a hologenomic approach to explore the relationship between host and microbiota in shaping lifetime growth and parasitic cestode infection in farmed Atlantic salmon. Genomes, transcriptomes, metabolomes and metagenomes were generated from the guts of 460 harvest-aged salmon, 82% of which were naturally infected with an inte… Show more
