Today Carol Buitrago successfully presented her Ph.D. proposal entitled "Assessing genetic differentiation and local adaptation of Pocilloporid corals in the Arabian Seas ".
Congratulations!

Our article on the role of nitrogen fixation in coral bleaching is now highlighted on KAUST Discovery!​

In our latest publication, we review the what is known about marine invertebrate larvae associated with Symbiodinium to find out whether there's a mutualism from the start. ​

Reef Genomics alumni ​​Aubrie O'Rourke​ awarded with Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Award Fellowship​ to study bacteria onboard the ISS.

In our latest study by Grupstra et al. we find that the range extension in the coral O. patagonica is accompanied by a reduced genotype diverisity of its symbiont S. psygmophilum.

​New study by Pogoreutz et al. uses sugar enrichment to shed new light on the role of nitorgen-fixing microbes in coral bleaching.

​Congratulations to Dr. Till Röthig for an outstanding Ph.D. dissertation defence and a remarkable Ph.D thesis!

​Welcome to our new postdoc Dr. Anny Cardénas!

In our latest publiation Hadaidi et al. find that bacterial communities in bleached and healthy Porites colonies remain stable.

Microbial communities may contribute to functioning of deep-sea corals from the Red Sea​ in this extreme environment.

Cytological profiling of algal extracts using High-Content Screening​

GIGA is a collaborative network of diverse scientists focussed on advancing invertebrate genomics. We use GIGA's second anniversary to reflect on its progress and future projects.

In our latest publication Kremb et al. introduce a new imaging-based High-Content Screening for the broad-spectrum phenotypic profiling of natural products.

Check out our latest paper in PLoS Genetics to find out how RNA editing may help coral symbionts to respond to stress in previously unrecognized ways.

The current cover of JBI features our article on the molecular diversity of coral symbionts around the arabian peninsula.​

Check​ out the KAUST Discovery article about our analysis of dinoflagellate genomes to identify adaptations to symbiosis in Symbiodinium.

Have a look at our latest study in Nature communications to find out how bacterial community dynamics relate to coral heat tolerance.

Claudia Pogoreutz has joined our lab as a new postdoc. Welcome!

"Meet Aiptasia" video wins the Science of Storytelling Award at the WEP 2017​

In our latest publication, we use comparative genomics to understand the role and function of Endozoicomonas bacteria associated with marine holobionts.
