Major transitions in early coral development: novel insights enabled by visualisation of a comprehensive transcriptomic dataset for Acropora millepora

The paper provides a comprehensive transcriptomic dataset and visualization tool for Acropora millepora development, revealing major gene expression transitions during gastrulation and post-settlement.

Signatures of selection in the coral holobiont reveal complex adaptations to inshore environments driven by Holocene climate change

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

Finding Nemo’s Genes: A chromosome-scale reference assembly of the genome of the orange clownfish Amphiprion percula

This paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly for the orange clownfish, providing a valuable resource for studying reef fish ecology and evolution.

Universal target-enrichment baits for anthozoan (Cnidaria) phylogenomics: New approaches to long-standing problems

The paper designs and tests RNA baits to capture phylogenetically informative loci in anthozoans, successfully resolving evolutionary relationships across multiple taxa.

Symbiodinium genomes reveal adaptive evolution of functions related to symbiosis

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