Sperm DNA of Montipora aequiturberculata

The Great Barrier Reef and Red Sea Sequencing Project Abstract:The Reef Future Genomics 2020 (ReFuGe) consortium are generating a large "omic" framework dataset for corals, their algal symbionts and associated microbes and viruses from the Great Barrier Reef and the Red Sea. This genomic reference data will be used to drive research into the capacity of corals to cope with stress and adapt; the role of symbiotic algae and bacteria in coral health, the role of particular genes and how these genes move across populations of corals and ultimately to improve the management and resilience of the coral reef ecosystem. The consortium will be generating reference genomic and transcriptomic data for ten corals species, their associated bacterial and viral communities and three strains of their endosymbiotic algae. More information regarding this initiative, including the priority species for sequencing can be found at the Great Barrier Reef Foundation website:(https://www.barrierreef.org/uploads/Sea-quence%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf)大堡礁与红海测序项目摘要：珊瑚未来基因组学2020（Reef Future Genomics 2020，简称ReFuGe）联盟正在构建一套针对大堡礁和红海区域的珊瑚、其藻类共生体以及相关微生物与病毒的大型组学（omic）框架数据集。该基因组参考数据将用于推动多项核心研究：解析珊瑚应对胁迫与适应环境的能力、共生藻类和细菌在珊瑚健康维持中的作用、特定基因的功能及其在珊瑚种群间的传播机制，最终助力优化珊瑚礁生态系统的管理与恢复力提升。该联盟将为10种珊瑚、其关联的细菌与病毒群落，以及3株内共生藻类构建参考基因组和转录组学（transcriptomic）数据。有关该项目的更多信息（包括测序优先物种）可访问大堡礁基金会官网：(https://www.barrierreef.org/uploads/Sea-quence%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf)
