Laura helped me a lot during my Msc please give love to her paper
Our PhD student Laura Ripe-Jaime, in collaboration with Dr. Catalina Arevalo's group on bacterial communities and communication, published key findings on quorum sensing in black band disease, an emerging threat to reef-building corals

I have an ambitious undergrad who wants to learn Python on her own over the break. Suggestions for online tutorials?

So what about Hydractinia's immune system?

In 2019, our former student Alejandra Zarate-Potes characterized the potential immune molecules in Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus following an immune challenge, using a transcriptomic approach

We are thrilled to announced the publication of chromosome level genome assemblies and genetic maps for the Caribbean corals, Acropora palmata and Acropora cervicornis. bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
Chromosome-level genome assemblies and genetic maps reveal heterochiasmy and macrosynteny in endangered Atlantic Acropora - BMC Genomics
Background Over their evolutionary history, corals have adapted to sea level rise and increasing ocean temperatures, however, it is unclear how quickly they may respond to rapid change. Genome structu...

Blueksky is DELIVERING in the category Friends of Friends Who Want More Baby Corals Eating Turkey 🍗

Meet O. faveolata, the Mountainous Star Coral. Baby age: 3 years. Baby size: Let's call it 1 mm. Video speed: 300x. All that gnashing back and forth: Kind of scary tbh?
