In Reef Genomics' latest publication, they review the what is known about marine invertebrate larvae associated with Symbiodinium to find out whether there's a mutualism from the start.

Aubrie just got awarded with the highlight competitive Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Award Fellowship with NASA.

​​​KAUST IT rolls out Research GIS support facility, with the Integrated Ocean Processes group pioneering GIS research applications for the Red Sea​

Reef Genomics' latest study by Grupstra et al. they investigate how coral range expansion affects genotypic diversity of their algal sybionts.

Check out our latest paper in PLoS Genetics to find out how RNA editing may help coral symbionts to respond to stress in previously unrecognized ways.

Surya Prakash and Malika Kheireddine participate in the 2017 International Ocean Colour Science meeting.

“Quantifying the effects of exotic species on marine ecosystems” is a Ahmed Juffali Research Chair workshop to be run at KAUST from April 30th to May 4th, with Drs Catherine Lovelock, Nuria Marba, Just Cebrian, Paulina Martinetto, Scott Bennett and Julia Santana-Garzon as guest scientists.

Amaar Amir (Manuel Aranda's group) has won 3rd place at the Sixth National Olympiad Creative and Science Awards "Innovation 2016." He is now qualified for the, and representing Saudi Arabia at The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair and the I-SWEEEP

New study by Pogoreutz et al. uses sugar enrichment to shed new light on the role of nitorgen-fixing microbes in coral bleaching.

​Congratulations to Dr. Till Röthig for an outstanding Ph.D. dissertation defence and a remarkable Ph.D thesis!

Welcome to our new postdoc Dr. Anny Cardénas!

In Reef Genomics' latest publiation Hadaidi et al. find that bacterial communities in bleached and healthy Porites colonies remain stable.

Microbial communities may contribute to functioning of deep-sea corals from the Red Sea​ in this extreme environment.

Cytological profiling of algal extracts using High-Content Screening​

GIGA is a collaborative network of diverse scientists focussed on advancing invertebrate genomics. We use GIGA's second anniversary to reflect on its progress and future projects.

In Reef Genomics' latest publication Kremb et al. introduce a new imaging-based High-Content Screening for the broad-spectrum phenotypic profiling of natural products.

The current cover of JBI features our article on the molecular diversity of coral symbionts around the arabian peninsula.​

Check​ out the KAUST Discovery article about our analysis of dinoflagellate genomes to identify adaptations to symbiosis in Symbiodinium.

Have a look at our latest study in Nature communications to find out how bacterial community dynamics relate to coral heat tolerance.

Claudia Pogoreutz has joined Reef Genomics lab as a new postdoc. Welcome!
