The Acropora spathulata genome sequencing project is focused on deciphering the genetic makeup of this significant coral species. Through the analysis of its genomic information, we anticipate uncovering valuable insights into the coral's remarkable adaptations to its surroundings, its reproductive mechanisms, and its vulnerability to environmental challenges like increasing sea temperatures and ocean acidification. This research holds the potential to advance our comprehension of coral biology and offers crucial data for coral conservation, contributing to the safeguarding of delicate marine ecosystems. The genome assembly was accomplished using approximately 60-fold coverage of PacBio Revio HiFi data with HiFiasm, ensuring a foundation for further investigations. Less...
