[Christian R Voolstra @reefgenomics]

exciting new work in @PNASNews https://t.co/TjInYEbgir in a nutshell 'corals bleach before they pale': corals starve before zoox r gone cos sugars come no more, putting long-held beliefs upside down. Shouts to Nils R who saw it through from the start of his PhD @unikonstanz

[NWebster_Micro @NWebster_Micro]

Our @Microbiome paper on sponge viruses and their auxiliary metabolic genes is finally out: https://t.co/RvTtzAAkxX Check out the video abstract produced by @researchsquare for quick summary of our main findings.
