The Mydlarz Lab has a second coral machine learning paper out this month! @emily-vanburen.bsky.social developed a diagnostic tool that classifies two coral diseases: white plague and #SCTLD. 463 genes, some involved in inflammation and protein trafficking, characterized the diseases.

Excited for a new Mydlarz Lab paper using Machine Learning to analyze coral transcriptomic data! @kelseybeavers.bsky.social used support vector machine recursive feature elimination combined with DEG analysis to describe SCTLD in coral. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
Machine learning reveals distinct gene expression signatures across tissue states in stony coral tissue loss disease | Royal Society Open Science
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has rapidly degraded Caribbean reefs, compounding
climate-related stressors and threatening ecosystem stability. Effective intervention
requires understanding t...

Post-doc position!
About 3 years ago i agreed to update the Encyclopedia of Immunobiology chapter on Cnidarian Immunity. It turned into a labor of love because so many new discoveries had been made since it was written in 2016!
We hope this is a valuable resource for everyone!

Fun at UTArlington planetarium watching the eclipse with the community! We got 80% coverage here in DFW. Love that my teen daughter and her friends thought it was so cool!

Happy to see this paper scim.ag/4jh from Steve Vollmer's lab with exciting data showing coral disease resistance can be linked to SNPs in 4 immune genes. See mine and Erinn Muller's Perspective in Science Magazine scim.ag/4ji
for the big picture of what this means for restoration efforts.

The Mydlarz lab took photos for @keishabahr.bsky.social lab colorimetry project this summer and had a lot of fun doing it! They need more photos especially during this bleaching event. See info below.
