Disease Diagnostics and Potential Coinfections by Vibrio coralliilyticus During an Ongoing Coral Disease Outbreak in Florida

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
A deadly coral disease outbreak has been devastating the Florida Reef Tract since 2014. This disease, stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), affects at least 22 coral species causing the progressive destruction of tissue.

Effects of the Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Outbreak on Coral Communities and the Benthic Composition of Cozumel Reefs

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
In the Caribbean, disease outbreaks have emerged as significant drivers of coral mortality. Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) is a novel white plague-type disease that was first reported off the Florida coast in 2014.

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Outbreaks in The Bahamas

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Coral reefs of Grand Bahama and New Providence islands in The Bahamas have been surveyed several times over the past decade, and long-term monitoring indicates declines in coral cover associated with hurricanes, bleaching events, and local threats ...

Discovery of Genetically Distinct, Sympatric Coral Lineages With Temporal but Not Gametic Reproductive Isolation

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Coral species abundance and biodiversity estimates are typically based on colony macromorphology. However, such measurements often underestimate the true diversity within coral communities because morphology does not necessarily reflect behavioral or genetic divergence. We previously reported on the unusual spawning behavior of the brain coral

Unveiling Multi‐Scale Architectural Features in Single‐Cell Hi‐C Data Using scCAFE

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 23, June 20, 2025.
scCAFE is a deep learning framework designed to identify multi‐scale 3D genome architectural features from single‐cell Hi‐C data without dense imputation. It predicts chromatin loops, TAD‐like domains, and A/B compartments, enabling efficient characterization of organization at the single‐cell level. scCAFE also identifies marker loop anchors, offering

Coral Restoration in the Omics Era: Development of Point‐of‐Care Tools for Monitoring Disease, Reproduction, and Thermal Stress

BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 6, June 2025.
Shown are different multi‐omics approaches that are used to identify potential biomarkers of coral health and disease. The integration of these data streams, using cutting‐edge molecular diagnostic technologies, including colorimetric dipsticks, lateral flow assays, and colorimetric LAMP (loop‐mediated isothermal amplification), holds the promise to ...

Multi‐year evaluation of rearing techniques for three sexually propagated Caribbean corals in a restoration setting

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, May 2025.
In response to declining coral populations worldwide, conservation groups are increasingly applying restoration strategies to bolster abundance and diversity, including sexual propagation of corals. Collection and fertilization of coral gametes as well as larval rearing and settlement have been successful.
