Yukgehnaish Kumarasan

Yukgehnaish Kumarasan serves as a Guest Researcher at the Section for Hologenomics within the Globe Institute, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. His work centers on microbial genomics and metatranscriptomics in agricultural soil ecosystems, particularly paddy field environments.

His primary research domains include Microbiology, Genomics, and Metatranscriptomics, with specialized focus on Soil Microbiology, Plant-Microbe Interactions, and Bacteriophage Research. Current investigations target molecular techniques for soil microbiome analysis, bacterial genome characterization, and phage genomics to advance sustainable agricultural practices.

Publication analysis reveals consistent application of genomic methodologies to soil-plant-microbe systems, emphasizing RNA extraction optimization, bacterial genome sequencing, and bacteriophage characterization. This work bridges environmental microbiology, agricultural science, and genomic technology development.

As part of the Section for Hologenomics, he contributes to interdisciplinary research on host-microbiome interactions across ecological contexts, leveraging the institute's collaborative framework for hologenomics—the integrated study of host-associated microbial communities and their collective genomes.
