CRISPR/Cas9-mutagenesis reveals that varying dependence on HSF1 is associated with differences in coral heat tolerance

The paper uses CRISPR/Cas9 to show that heat-tolerant corals rely less on HSF1 for survival during heat stress compared to heat-sensitive corals.

Metaproteome analysis of short-term thermal stress in three sympatric coral species reveals divergent host responses.

The paper analyzes metaproteomic responses of three coral species to thermal stress, revealing species-specific strategies and conserved stress biomarkers.

Localised admixture triggers parallel adaptation in a coral species trio on the Great Barrier Reef

This study shows that three-way admixture in corals leads to parallel genetic differentiation and adaptive introgression in specific regions of the Great Barrier Reef.

Long-distance gene flow and contrasting population structures of reef-building corals and their algal symbionts inform adaptive potential across the Western Pacific

This study examines genetic connectivity and diversity of corals and their algal symbionts across the Western Pacific, revealing distinct population structures and adaptive potential.

Multigenerational Tracking of Reef-Building Corals Using CRISPR-Cas9induced Genetic Barcodes and eDNA Metabarcoding

The paper introduces a method to track coral individuals and their offspring over time using CRISPR-Cas9 genetic barcodes and eDNA metabarcoding.

Heat-responsive dynamic shifts in alternative splicing of the coral Acropora cervicornis

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.

Chromosomal inversions harbour excess mutational load in the coral, Acropora kenti, on the Great Barrier Reef

The paper identifies chromosomal inversions in Acropora kenti with excess mutational load, suggesting they are under balancing selection and may impact adaptation and genetic decline.

Environmental, host, and symbiont drivers of heat tolerance in a species complex of reef-building corals

The paper quantifies heat tolerance variation in a coral species complex and identifies environmental, host, and symbiont genomic predictors of thermal thresholds.

Heritability of the Symbiodinium community in vertically- and horizontally-transmitting broadcast spawning corals

The paper quantifies heritability of Symbiodinium communities in two corals with different transmission modes, finding host genetic influence varies between species.

Functional genomic analysis of corals from natural CO2-seeps reveal core molecular responses involved in acclimatization to ocean acidification

The paper identifies core molecular responses in corals and their algal symbionts to ocean acidification using gene expression analysis from natural CO2-seeps.
