The paper identifies a new outbreak of transmissible cancer in soft-shell clams in Puget Sound using eDNA surveys and shows the disease originated from a distant location.

The paper uses nanopore sequencing to profile DNA methylation in a cnidarian-algal symbiosis, finding subtle methylation changes and one region with higher methylation associated with a DNA polymerase.

This study examines DNA methylation changes in the coral Porites astreoides under simulated environmental change, finding convergence of methylation profiles and evidence of heritability.

The paper investigates genetic and epigenetic variation in Caribbean branching Porites corals to determine their role in morphospecies delineation, finding stronger genetic structuring than epigenetic.
