The paper analyzes genomic data from Acropora cervicornis to assess neutral and adaptive divergence, finding limited genetic structure and suggesting it can be managed as a single conservation unit.

The paper assesses genetic diversity and relatedness in sexually produced coral offspring to inform restoration strategies.

The paper compares somatic mutation accumulation in two coral species, finding distinct patterns suggesting different cell lineage development mechanisms.

The paper quantifies somatic genetic variation in corals and estimates their age using mutation rates, finding no positive selection and a neutral framework for studying genetic diversity.

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 tests the thermal tolerance of Acropora palmata corals produced via assisted gene flow, finding that hybrid cohorts show novel alleles and gene expression patterns but limited phenotypic response to heat stress.

The paper investigates heat-induced alternative splicing changes in the coral Acropora cervicornis under different thermal stress conditions and finds that 40% of genes undergo alternative splicing, with intron retention dominating responses.
