Warming seas threaten #coral-algal #symbiosis, & so reef #ecosystems. @Dr_Cnidariana @HolliePutnam &co show that #CoralLarvae alter nutrient metabolism by increasing N assimilation to maintain symbiotic relationships & survive thermal stress #PLOSBiology plos.io/4foh6lL

Metagenomics and #COI sequencing folks:
If you have deep sequencing of PCR amplified products and want to phase the different alleles, what do you use and how do you deal with PCR recombination artifacts?

Check out our latest! We’re excited at the utility this new tool for Pacific oyster will bring.
Also will share how we are using the panel @Research_VIU/ @VIUDeepBay at the Pacific Coast Shellfish Growers Association Conference next week #shellfish78 @UBCeoas
Delighted to share the latest from the GBMF-supported project on sustainable oyster aquaculture. @bsuther7 and Tim Green led the development of an amplicon panel for high-throughput and low-cost genotyping of Pacific oyster academic.oup.com/g3journal/a…. Pretty sweet to get the cover!

Phase Genomics tech helps create the 1st sea louse vaccine for farmed salmon. Sea lice cost the farmed salmon industry $1B a year. And wild salmon feel the bite of sea lice, too. See how @IncarChile’s Cristian Gallardo Escárate created the vaccine.
