STAGdb: a 30K SNP genotyping array and Science Gateway for Acropora corals and their dinoflagellate symbionts

Standardized identification of genotypes is necessary in animals that reproduce asexually and form large clonal populations such as coral. We developed a high-resolution hybridization-based genotype array coupled with an analysis workflow and database for the most speciose genus of coral, Acropora, and their symbionts. We designed the array to co-analyze host and symbionts based on bi-allelic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) markers identified from genomic data of the two Caribbean Acropora…

SAGER: a database of Symbiodiniaceae and Algal Genomic Resource

Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates are essential endosymbionts of reef building corals and some other invertebrates. Information of their genome structure and function is critical for understanding coral symbiosis and bleaching. With the rapid development of sequencing technology, genome draft assemblies of several Symbiodiniaceae species and diverse marine algal genomes have become publicly available but spread in multiple separate locations. Here, we present a Symbiodiniaceae and Algal Genomic…

Genome-wide high-throughput screening of interactive bacterial metabolite in the algal population using Escherichia coli K-12 Keio collection

Algae-bacteria interaction is one of the main factors underlying the formation of harmful algal blooms (HABs). The aim of this study was to develop a genome-wide high-throughput screening method to identify HAB-influenced specific interactive bacterial metabolites using a comprehensive collection of gene-disrupted E. coli K-12 mutants (Keio collection). The screening revealed that a total of 80 gene knockout mutants in E. coli K-12 resulted in an approximately 1.5-fold increase in algal growth…
