The paper shows that oxygen limitation within coral colonies during heatwaves leads to differing bleaching outcomes, even among neighboring colonies.

This study shows that bacterial inoculation induces DNA methylation changes in corals, which correlate with gene expression and affect stress resilience.

This study shows that ocean warming increases fungal pathogenicity in octocorals, leading to physiological collapse and microbiome reorganization.

This study shows coral probiotics reduce ecosystem-level impacts of marine heatwaves by maintaining biodiversity and microbial interactions in adjacent communities.

This study shows that coral immune priming through pathogen exposure improves resilience to heat stress and infection, mediated by microbiome changes and gene expression modulation.

XTree aligns sequencing reads to large genome databases efficiently and accurately, outperforming existing tools in precision and recall.

The paper provides a standardized fieldwork handbook and open tools for microbial sampling, sequencing, and culturing at biobank scale.

The paper introduces MAGUS, a toolkit for analyzing metagenomic data from eukaryote-dominated symbiotic communities, and demonstrates its ability to resolve multiple genomes and gene catalogs from coral and hydrozoan samples.

The paper tests probiotic and postbiotic treatments on corals during a marine heatwave, showing improved photosynthetic efficiency and microbiome/metabolic changes.

This paper identifies a probiotic bacterium with persistent colonization in corals using evolutionary genomic markers, showing improved thermal tolerance and survival during bleaching.

This study investigates how molecular hydrogen affects heat stress in corals, finding it improves photosynthetic efficiency in Acropora spp. under elevated temperatures.

The paper identifies shared endosymbiotic microbes between deep-sea corals and crinoids that participate in nitrogen cycling, suggesting mutualistic interactions in nutrient-poor environments.
