Per-genus Bowtie2 or BWA-aln alignments in place of MALT cut alignment-stage memory from about 140 GB (aMeta) to about 7 GB and gave higher simulated-data AUC (0.87 vs 0.79).

This study examines how environmental factors influence metabolomic profiles in two cryptic lineages of Montastraea cavernosa, finding similar adaptive responses despite genetic divergence.

The study predicts coral microbiome composition using host genetics, algal symbionts, and environmental factors in Acropora millepora during a bleaching event.

This study identifies cryptic genetic structure in coral hosts as the main driver of holobiont community assembly, highlighting its role in limiting holobiont flexibility.

RDAforest identifies environmental drivers of polygenic adaptation by using random forest regression to model genetic covariance structures and detect non-linear relationships in simulated and real datasets.

This study compares spatial and temporal dynamics of microbial and Symbiodiniaceae communities in reef sediments and corals, finding persistent spatial structure despite temporal changes in sediments.

This study identifies depth and water chemistry as more important than temperature in driving genetic adaptation in two coral species across the Florida Keys.

The paper reanalyzes invertebrate datasets to test if DNA methylation changes correlate with gene expression changes, finding no simple relationship between the two.

The paper compares gene expression in brain regions of prairie voles and meadow voles to identify species differences associated with pair bonding.

The paper identifies gene expression patterns associated with disease resistance and long-term growth in corals from a marine sanctuary, showing no trade-off between resistance and calcification.

The paper analyzes coral stress responses and finds two distinct types of transcriptional responses to different stress intensities in Acropora corals.

This study examines how thermal stress affects coral mucus composition and antibacterial properties, finding increased protein, lipid content, and antibacterial activity in bleached corals.

The paper investigates the role of gene body methylation in coral acclimatization by analyzing methylation and transcriptome changes in transplanted corals, finding limited direct correlation between GBM and transcriptional changes.

The paper discusses genomic approaches for studying obscure model organisms, focusing on sequencing solutions and data handling techniques for these species.
