Help me, symbionts, you're my only hope: Approaches to accelerate our understanding of coral holobiont interactions
Tropical corals construct the three-dimensional framework for one of the most diverse
ecosystems on the planet, providing habitat to a plethora of species across taxa. However …

Stony coral tissue loss disease induces transcriptional signatures of in situ degradation of dysfunctional Symbiodiniaceae
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), one of the most pervasive and virulent coral
diseases on record, affects over 22 species of reef-building coral and is decimating reefs …

Genomic data reveals habitat partitioning in massive Porites on Guam, Micronesia
Corals in marginal reef habitats generally exhibit less bleaching and associated mortality
compared to nearby corals in more pristine reef environments. It is unclear, however, if these …

Alphaflexivirus genomes in stony coral tissue loss disease-affected, disease-exposed, and disease-unexposed coral colonies in the US Virgin Islands
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is decimating Caribbean corals. Here, through the
metatranscriptomic assembly and annotation of two alphaflexivirus-like strains, we provide …
