Congratulations to the three newly minted coral doctors from the @TheBaumsLab: @ConnTrinity , Cornelia Osborne and Nicolas Locatelli! You did amazing work individually and collectively. It's been wonderful to see all these insights on Caribbean corals emerge from your theses.

Biometrics revealed how light absorption efficiency changes with skeletal morphology, while intragenic methylome repatterning was discovered by signal detection with machine learning-based analysis.

We identified key methylome–transcriptome networks containing a large number of hub genes that appear integral to inducing changes in biomineralization, polyp formation and ultimately colony shape.

⚠️ Sadly, the presence of the stony coral tissue loss disease #SCTLD has been reported for the first time in the Atoll Banco Chinchorro, Mexico, after 5 years when it started to spread throughout the Caribbean. 🧵1/n

📢NEW RESEARCH ALERT📢
What are the driving forces of biodiversity in coral reef ecosystems? A new paper published in @SciReports by @lab_prieto and Enríquez Lab has found a link between symbiont productivity and coral biodiversity with depth
How did we find this link? 1/4 🧵

Happy #FeatureFriday! This week we have @izamtz06 from @lab_prieto who studies light sensing in reef-building corals 🪸🌊 ☀️

Quote: Light is the foremost carrier of information in the biological world; the ability of organisms to use and sense light can change their behavior, physiology, and form. My research seeks to understand the molecular and biophysical light-sensing mechanisms in reef-building corals, and how these informational light signals influence their skeletal growth patterns and morphology.

It all started with the curious case of coral eggs developing into offspring, seemingly without access to sperm from another clone. It ended with the discovery of somatic mutations crossing into reproductive cells, something that is rare in animals science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Corals don’t follow the rules. We (@TheBaumsLab, @KVasquezKuntz, @ConnTrinity, @CoralSci, @andiechan13, Sam Vohsen, Mark Vermeji, and Chris Page) are excited to share our work on somatic mutation inheritance in Elkhorn coral offspring out today @ScienceAdvances.
31 Aug 2022
Elkhorn coral’s reproductive genesis enabled researchers to study how somatic mutations (DNA alterations to non-germline cells after conception) transfer to offspring.
