The paper identifies an evolutionary rewired gene regulatory network in stony corals that specifies secretory cells, using chromatin profiling and transcriptomics in Astrangia poculata.

This paper presents chromosome-scale genome assemblies and genetic maps for two endangered Atlantic corals, revealing macrosynteny, gene collinearity, and recombination patterns that inform their adaptive capacity and conservation.

The paper investigates genetic differentiation of Symbiodinium fitti symbionts associated with three Caribbean coral species and their hybrid, finding host-specific genetic variation.

The paper develops a SNP genotyping array and analysis workflow for Acropora corals and their symbionts, enabling genotype identification and ancestry analysis.

The paper develops genomic resources and workflows for two threatened Acropora corals, identifies genetic differences in key pathways, and provides candidate loci for genotyping.
