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

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.

Identification of putative coral pathogens in endangered Caribbean staghorn coral using machine learning

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 9, September 2024.
Using a combination of extensive field sampling, highly accurate ensemble machine learning and tank‐based transmission experiments, we employ 16S rRNA gene surveys to identify two candidate pathogens likely causing white band disease in critically endangered staghorn and elkhorn corals.

Tissue loss disease outbreak significantly alters the Southeast Florida stony coral assemblage

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
A stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) outbreak, first widely reported in 2014 in the Southeast Florida Ecosystem Conservation Area (Coral ECA), has continued to impact stony coral communities for more than seven years.

Building living systematic reviews and reporting standards for comparative microscopic analysis of white diseases in hard corals

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
Diseases and disease outbreaks are increasing on coral reefs. This study systematically reviews histological methods used to study white diseases in hard coral species from 1984 to 2022 and finds inconsistencies in reporting methodologies and terminology among studies.

Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) destabilizes the coral microbiome

AbstractStony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is a rapidly spreading lethal coral disease, the etiology of which remains poorly understood. In this study, using deep metagenomic sequencing, we investigate microbial and viral community dynamics associated with SCTLD progression in the Caribbean stony coralDiploria labyrinthiformis.

Mapping global coral vulnerability to stony coral tissue loss disease: implications for biosecurity and conservation

Frontiers in Marine Science
Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) has devastated Caribbean coral reefs since 2014, but its potential for global impact remains uncertain. We developed predictive models to assess the worldwide vulnerability of coral reefs to SCTLD under different ...

Microorganisms uniquely capture and predict stony coral tissue loss disease and hurricane disturbance impacts on US Virgin Island reefs

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2024.
US Virgin Island reefs were recently impacted by major disturbances, but the ecosystem‐wide impacts are not well characterized. Therefore, we measured reef seawater nutrients and microorganisms. Over time, as the underlying reef habitat became enriched in algae, the overlying seawater ecosystem became enriched in ammonium and certain heterotrophic ...

Overcoming barriers to reef restoration: field‐based method for approximate genotyping of Acropora cervicornis

Restoration Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2024.
Reef restoration efforts aim to enhance resilience by safeguarding the genetic diversity of coral populations. This could be facilitated by genotyping methods that are relatively inexpensive, and field‐based. A potential method for assessing coral genotypic diversity arises from self‐recognition phenomena.
