Great Barrier Reef

The Sea-quence Project is generating core genetic data for corals from the Great Barrier Reef and Red Sea to ultimately help guide reef management practices. The project aims to sequence the genomes of 9 coral species across 6 different coral types, 3-4 algal symbionts and generate a new suite of microbial symbiont sequence data. This project is an initiative of the Reef Future Genomics (ReFuGe 2020) Consortium. Membership of the consortium includes:

  • Great Barrier Reef Foundation
  • James Cook University
  • Australian Institute of Marine Science
  • University of Queensland
  • The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority
  • King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Saudi Arabia)
  • Australian National University
  • Bioplatforms Australia
