coral genome revealed by Next Generation Sequencing

Dear All

Please see this week's Nature article reporting the whole genome sequencing of a coral reef.

Apart from the absence of genes to synthesise Cys and the presence of genes to synthesise an unusual amino acid, authors report the presence of enzymes in this genome to produce chemicals that protect against UV radiation.
