Our paper on chromosomal inversions in Acropora kenti is out today in Molecular Ecology. Inversions are cool and important! Great work by @jiazhangjia and collaboration with @dorkyM @CRiginos @JanStrugnell @LineKBay @mattfield100 or onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

The future survival of coral reefs in the Anthropocene depends on the capacity of corals to adapt as oceans warm and extreme weather events become more frequent. Targeted interventions designed to...

We found five large inversions in this species on the GBR, and rates of potentially deleterious mutations were higher within inversions than in the genomic background.

What an achievement from @WhitelawBrooke and team. Lots of linkage map expertise here @JCU. Nice to see it applied to a cephalopod for the first time.

Genetic linkage maps provide a useful resource for non-model genomes and can aid in genome reassembly to form more contiguous pseudo-chromosomes. We present the first linkage map of any cephalopod,...
