The Atlantic horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, is a commercially, ecologically, and economically important species. Current management practices of this species may not be well informed enough to avoid jeopardizing the future health of these animals.

Marine species face a complex suite of stressors that span multiple temporal and spatial scales from long-term global ocean change to localized episodes of coastal acidification. The cumulative and concurrent impacts of multiple stressors remain relatively unknown and requires investigating their synergistic impacts across all life stages.

dDocent is simple bash wrapper to QC, assemble, map, and call SNPs from almost any kind of RAD sequencing. If you have a reference already, dDocent can be used to call SNPs from almost any type of NGS data set.

The eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, is a valuable fishery and aquaculture species that provides critical services as an ecosystem engineer. Oysters have a life-history that promotes high genetic diversity and gene flow while also occupying a wide range of habitats in variable coastal environments from the southern Gulf of Mexico to the southern waters of Atlantic Canada.

To develop EecSeq into an exome capture method for any organism, the accompanying bioinformatics pipeline needs to be capable of de novo assembly of exon loci directly from captured genomic reads.

Understanding the interaction between genotype, phenotype, and the environment is one of the greatest challenges in biology. Researchers face a two-fold challenge in experimental design: 1) sampling enough individuals to accurately characterize populations and 2) sequencing the most informative part of the genome, the base pairs that cause phenotypic change.

Coastal urban areas, home to over 50% of the population in the USA and over 60% of the population of the world, are a major source of marine pollution in coastal environments.
