Covering: up to 2021 Metagenomics has yielded massive amounts of sequencing data
offering a glimpse into the biosynthetic potential of the uncultivated microbial majority. While …

Aquatic invertebrates are a major source of biomaterials and bioactive natural products that
can find applications as pharmaceutics, nutraceutics, cosmetics, antibiotics, antifouling …

Whereas DNA viruses are known to be abundant, diverse, and commonly key ecosystem
players, RNA viruses are insufficiently studied outside disease settings. In this study, we …

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

Elevated temperatures resulting from climate change pose a clear threat to reef‐building
corals; however, the traits that might influence corals' survival and dispersal during climate …

Recent evidence suggests that corals can acclimatize or adapt to local stress factors through
differential regulation of their gene expression. Profiling gene expression in corals from …

Comparative genome analyses indicate that every taxonomic group so far studied contains
10–20% of genes that lack recognizable homologs in other species. Do such 'orphan'or …

The impact of ocean acidification (OA) on coral calcification, a subject of intense current
interest, is poorly understood in part because of the presence of symbionts in adult corals …

It has long been recognized that a suite of proteins exists in coral skeletons that is critical for
the oriented precipitation of calcium carbonate crystals, yet these proteins remain poorly …

In corals, biocalcification is a major function that may be drastically affected by ocean
acidification (OA). Scleractinian corals grow by building up aragonitic exoskeletons that …
