The Whole Nuclear Genome of the Giant Caribbean Barrel Sponge, Xestospongia muta, and its Microbial Symbiont Community Now Completely Sequenced

The NSU MMG Laboratory is happy to announce that a chromosomal-level, whole nuclear genome of the giant barrel sponge, Xestospongia muta, and its microbial cohort, has now been published by our photosymbiotic and sponge hubs of the Sanger/Moore Aquatic Symbiosis Genome Project. https://wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/10-336/v1 (Photo credits go to Liz Fromuth and Brian K. Walker). Among sessile marine … Continue reading The Whole Nuclear Genome of the Giant Caribbean Barrel Sponge, Xestospongia muta, and its Microbial Symbiont Community Now Completely Sequenced
