Marine biology is the scientific study of organisms in the ocean or other marine bodies of water. Given that in biology many phyla, families and genera have some species that live in the sea and others that live on land, marine biology classifies species based on the environment rather than ...

Genome assembly and annotation The differing assembly strategies implemented forHydrophis major,H.ornatusandH. curtus(West) andH. elegansgenerated highly accurate and contiguous assemblies. The assembly process yielded a primary chromosomal assembly and dual assembly (haplotypes) forH. major, two chromoso...
Alpha diversity analysis was performed on the pre-processed count table and was measured by means of the Shannon index and observed OTUs metrics. Beta diversity was evaluated with the phylogeny based Unifrac distance metric. Implantation of accelerometer tags and recording of swimming activity At ...
[48], employing the global pairwise alignment approach (–usearch_globalfrom VSEARCH). This taxonomically informed OTU table was generated by the UniEuk consortium [42]. Only samples with more than 10,000 reads were considered and rarefied using therrarefyfunction from “Vegan” package [49] ...
PD gain was calculated in QIIME66 by using the ‘unifrac_g_full_tree’ parameter executed in the beta_diversity.py script. Using the fraction of branch length in the full tree that is exclusive to a particular specimen, it calculates the PD on cumulative OTU tables, where each specimen is...

Shelling out on the story of our seas; Uni leads PS3.1m climate change study If the shells had these two qualities, they could be used to monitor marine climate, potentially for thousands of years. How using the marine world can help us to make sense of our own; Dr Paul Butler is a...
