Population genetics of the coral Acropora millepora: Towards a genomic predictor of bleaching

This study generates a genome assembly for Acropora millepora and identifies genetic predictors of bleaching using genome-wide association analysis.

Contrasting determinants of mutation rates in germline and soma

The paper compares mutation rate determinants in germline and somatic tissues, finding shared factors but contrasting effects of expression levels on mutation rates in ovaries/testes versus tumors.
