Phylogenomics

Uncovering the diversity, evolution, and functional roles of the microbial eukaryotes — corallicolids, algae, ciliates, and more — that live within corals and shape holobiont health.

Rocío Mozo presents her phylogenomic work on Symbiodiniaceae and their free-living Suessiales relatives — establishing the first comprehensive evolutionary framework for coral photosymbionts.
