ACE researchers @chancx.bsky.social @hisatakeishida.bsky.social shared their work in coral hologenomics & symbiont genomics at #ICRS2026 🪸 alongside the GBR-MGD @nature.com presented by @markoterzin.bsky.social this week. Marine genomics continues to make an impact!

My first #ICRS2026 @icrs.bsky.social: so glad to share what we've been working on in the areas of coral hologenomics and Symbiodiniaceae genomics. It's been an exciting, productive meeting with wonderful people! Tagging @hisatakeishida.bsky.social here for his excellent talk. Go k-mers!

Check out our new paper!

We compare indicators for monitoring the impacts of island restoration on coral reefs. Massive thanks to our huge list of collaborators, which enabled us to look at seabirds, nutrients, microbes, algae, corals, and fish! 🐦🦠🌱🪸🐠
