Article Synopsis
- Long-read sequencing technology is enhancing genome assembly methods for previously understudied organisms, like stony corals, with new genome assemblies becoming publicly available.
- A new de-novo genome assembly for the endangered Caribbean star coral, Orbicella faveolata, significantly improved genome quality metrics compared to previous short-read methods, detecting 32,172 protein-coding genes.
- This new genome resource aims to support conservation efforts for O. faveolata, especially as it faces threats from human activities and is increasingly used in reef restoration projects.
