This paper develops a rapid diagnostic assay for Vibrio coralliilyticus using RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a, showing high specificity and sensitivity for coral disease surveillance.

This paper presents a method using ultraconserved elements to identify coral species and assess intraspecific diversity efficiently.

The paper examines how marine reserves affect seawater microbial communities in the Great Barrier Reef, finding distinct microbiomes between protected and fished areas.

The paper presents a microbial genomes database for the Great Barrier Reef, highlighting underrepresented prokaryotic and viral genomes and their utility in predicting reef management impacts.

The paper identifies genetic adaptations in coral holobionts from the Great Barrier Reef's inshore regions linked to Holocene climate change.

This study profiles the transcriptomic response of Symbiodiniaceae during coral-algal symbiosis establishment, revealing gene expression changes in the symbiont.

The paper presents draft genomes of two Symbiodinium species and identifies genes under positive selection related to symbiosis functions.
