Bioinformatics subject: Project:Genome of the crown of thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci). Outbreaks of this species of starfish are a major environmental issue of Australia’s great barrier reef and causes major coral loses. A recent 27 –years reef monitoring study of the great barrier reef estimated that the starfish accounts for 42% of the loss in coral cover,2nd only to typhoons. -sequence the genome of the crown of the thorns starfish and investigated the genes that starfish uses to attack coral communities. - the article use for this topic: Genomic organization of Hox and ParaHox clusters in the echinoderm, Acanthaster planci...
