Current Objective: Delimit and validate coral species under restoration using phylogenomic analysis of lcWGS, 3-RADSeq and long read sequencing data
Our team has successfully set up the project's website and GitHub for open access sharing and also procured field and laboratory supplies.
Objectives
This project aims to generate genomic resources to support coral species delimitation, identify resilience markers and develop low cost PCR tools for application in reef restoration and biodiversity monitoring. This project’s work is centred around five core objectives:
Objective 1
Delimit and validate Kenyan coral species
Status: Ongoing
Delimit and validate Kenyan coral species under restoration using phylogenomics to analyse lcWGS, 3-RADSeq and long read sequencing data.
Objective 2
Identify and map QTLs for coral species delimitation
Objective 3
Develop and implement PCR diagnostics for species delineation
Objective 4
Estimate genetic diversity
Objective 5
Capacity building and partner engagement
