This study identifies and characterizes three classes of small RNAs in sperm from three cnidarian species, revealing their potential role in paternal epigenetic inheritance.

This study identifies miRNAs in the temperate coral Astrangia poculata and shows they regulate seasonal gene expression and physiological responses to temperature changes.

The paper tracks coral thermal performance over a decade, showing species-specific changes in thermal acclimatization and recovery after a marine heatwave.

The paper identifies conserved epigenetic regulatory networks involving miRNAs, lncRNAs, and DNA methylation in three coral species, revealing cross-talk mechanisms and lineage-specific regulatory roles.

The paper presents the genome and DNA methylome assembly of Acropora pulchra from Moorea, French Polynesia, achieving high completeness and providing insights into its genetic and epigenetic features.

This study characterizes the non-coding RNA repertoire in three reef-building coral species, identifying conserved and species-specific ncRNAs and their potential regulatory roles.

This study exposes early life stages of Pocillopora acuta to warming and acidification scenarios, finding survival under moderate conditions but significant negative effects under severe conditions.

This study shows coral larvae maintain carbon provisioning from algal symbionts under heat stress by sequestering nitrogen into dipeptides, reducing symbiont growth but preserving photosynthesis and carbon transfer.

This study examines transcriptomic responses to sediment stress in branching and massive corals across different locations, finding species-specific and morphological differences in gene expression.

This study examines how DNA methylation and gene expression respond to elevated pCO2 in eastern oysters, finding sex-specific effects on transcriptional noise and gene regulation.
