TransPi—a comprehensive TRanscriptome ANalysiS PIpeline for de novo transcriptome assembly
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 5, Page 2070-2086, July 2022., 2022 Abstract The use of RNA sequencing (RNA‐Seq) data and the generation of de novo transcriptome assemblies have been pivotal for studies in ecology and evolution. This is especially true for nonmodel organisms, where no genome information is available.

Host-microbe symbiosis and coevolution in coral reef invertebrates [PDF]
, 2022 Paul O'Brien used the topic of coevolution to study the microbiome of coral reef invertebrates. He found that a) the evolutionary history of the host is reflected in the microbiome, b) a subset of microbial species display strong patterns of cophylogeny,

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 3, Page 798-810, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Up to one‐third of all described marine species inhabit coral reefs, but the future of these hyperdiverse ecosystems is insecure due to local and global threats, such as overfishing, eutrophication, ocean warming and acidification. Although these impacts are expected to have a net detrimental effect on reefs, it has been shown that some ...

DOC enrichment modulates symbiont density and microbial diversity in the temperate coral, Oculina arbuscula [PDF]
, 2023 Nearshore coral health is highly influenced by the influx of anthropogenically sourced nutrients into coastal waterways. Excess dissolved organic carbon (DOC) enrichment can weaken the coral-algal symbiosis, resulting in coral stress and bleaching ...

Molecular biomineralization of octocoral skeletons: calcite versus aragonite [PDF]
, 2020 Aragonite and calcite represent the two most common polymorphs of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) formed biogenically by organisms. The mechanisms that allow animals to selectively deposit aragonite and/or calcite has been extensively studied in molluscs, but ...

Revisionary systematics of Octocorallia (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) guided by phylogenomics [PDF]
, 2022 The anthozoan sub-class Octocorallia includes over 3500 nominal species of soft corals and gorgonian sea fans, many of which serve as critical foundation species in benthic marine ecosystems in shallow waters to the deep sea.

The applicability of sulfoxide Michael acceptor – 2-(S)-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfinyl]-2-cyclopenten-1-one in constructing the carbon skeleton of 9,11-secosterols [PDF]
A possibility of use of the Michael addition reaction of the A,BÂ-ring fragment enolate to sulfoxide 2Â-(S)-Â[(4Â-methylphenyl)sulfinyl]-Â2Â-cyclopentenÂ-1Â-one for constructing the main skeleton of 9,11Â-secosterols was studied.
