Cross-talk among miRNAs, lncRNAs, and DNA methylation in three coral species reveal conserved epigenetic regulatory architecture

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.

A draft de novo assembly of Diadema antillarum, a keystone herbivore of the Caribbean reefs

This paper presents a high-quality de novo genome assembly of Diadema antillarum using multiple sequencing platforms and assembly strategies.

Combined-stress priming alters physiology, transcriptional dynamics, and acute thermal resistance in Acropora cervicornis corals

This study shows that pre-exposing Acropora cervicornis corals to combined stressors improves their thermal tolerance and transcriptional resilience during acute heat stress.

Epigenetic Intelligence: How Organisms Track Their Environment Through Molecular Memory

This paper presents a stochastic model of epigenetic change and proposes three testable predictions about how organisms track environments through epigenetic responses, highlighting gaps in experimental validation.

Seasonal plasticity of symbiotic strategies clarifies coral holobiont resistance and resilience

This study quantifies seasonal plasticity in coral physiology and symbiont communities across three genera, revealing differences in stress resilience linked to environmental factors and genetic diversity.

Non-coding RNA Repertoire in Reef-Building Corals

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.

The protamines of the noble false widow spider Steatoda nobilis provide an example of liquid-liquid phase separation chromatin transitions during spermiogenesis

This paper characterizes protamines in the noble false widow spider Steatoda nobilis, revealing liquid-liquid phase separation during spermiogenesis and evolutionary links to histone H1.

Invertebrate methylomes provide insight into mechanisms of environmental tolerance and reveal methodological biases

The paper compares DNA methylation quantification methods in corals, revealing methodological biases and environmental sensitivity differences.
