The diversified NF-κB transcription factor family has been extensively characterized in
organisms ranging from flies to humans. However, homologs of NF-κB and many upstream …

The global loss and degradation of coral reefs, as a result of intensified frequency and
severity of bleaching events, is a major concern. Evidence of heat stress affecting corals …

We investigated genome folding across the eukaryotic tree of life. We find two types of three-
dimensional (3D) genome architectures at the chromosome scale. Each type appears and …

INTRODUCTION Coral reefs worldwide are suffering losses at an alarming rate as a result of
anthropogenic climate change. Increased seawater temperatures, even only slightly above …

There is currently little information about the evolution of gene clusters, genome
architectures and karyotypes in early branching animals. Slowly evolving anthozoan …

Reef-building corals are keystone species that are threatened by anthropogenic stresses
including climate change. To investigate corals' responses to stress and other aspects of …

The genus Acropora comprises the most diverse and abundant scleractinian corals
(Anthozoa, Cnidaria) in coral reefs, the most diverse marine ecosystems on Earth. However …

Genetic signatures caused by demographic and adaptive processes during past climatic
shifts can inform predictions of species' responses to anthropogenic climate change. To …

Cnidarians have been known since ancient times for the painful stings they induce to
humans. The effects of the stings range from skin irritation to cardiotoxicity and can result in …

Coral reefs across the globe are threatened by warming oceans. The last few years have
seen the worst mass coral bleaching events recorded, with more than one quarter of all reefs …
