The coral Acropora loripes genome reveals an alternative pathway for cysteine biosynthesis in animals

A. loripes samples were collected from Trunk Reef on the Great Barrier Reef. High–molecular weight DNA was extracted from frozen sperm and genomic DNA was recovered. Genome size and heterozygosity were estimated. RNA was extracted from a single nubbin, and quality was assessed.The genome of the coral Acropora loripes was assembled and explored for alternative cysteine biosynthesis pathwaysAll sequencing data were deposited to NCBI and can be found under the BioProject accession PRJNA660608. Full methods of analysis are available in the paper Salzar et al (2022)

A.loripes样本采集自大堡礁（Great Barrier Reef）的Trunk Reef。从冷冻精子中提取高分子量DNA并回收基因组DNA，对基因组大小和杂合度进行了估算。从单个珊瑚小枝（nubbin）中提取RNA并评估其质量。组装了鹿角珊瑚（Acropora loripes）的基因组，并对其替代性半胱氨酸生物合成途径展开探索。所有测序数据均已提交至NCBI，可通过生物项目（BioProject）登录号PRJNA660608获取。完整的分析方法详见Salzar等人（2022）发表的论文。
