This study analyzes genomes and transcriptomes of deep-sea anemones to reveal evolutionary patterns and adaptive strategies, finding repeated gene loss and molecular innovations in deep-sea species.

The paper identifies the Golden Orb as remnants of the deep-sea anemone Relicanthus daphneae through morphological and genomic analysis.

This paper uses phylogenomic analysis to show that clownfish-hosting sea anemones diversified coincidently with clownfishes, supporting co-evolutionary patterns in their mutualistic relationship.

The paper investigates how symbiont loci affect phylogeographic inference in anthozoans using ddRADseq and a reference genome to filter out endosymbiont contamination.
