珊瑚礁是超过 200 万个物种的家园，为大约 25% 的海洋动物提供栖息地，但它们正受到污染和气候变化的严重威胁。越来越多的来自不同物种的造礁珊瑚、单细胞甲藻和珊瑚微生物组（细菌、古细菌、病毒、真菌等）的基因组、转录组和其他组学数据。这些新数据为生物信息学研究人员和计算生物学家提供了一个机会，让他们能够对影响珊瑚礁健康和复原力的关键因素进行及时、令人信服和紧急的调查。
Coral reefs are home to over two million species and provide habitat for roughly 25% of all marine animals, but they are being severely threatened by pollution and climate change. A large amount of genomic, transcriptomic, and other omics data is becoming increasingly available from different species of reef-building corals, the unicellular dinoflagellates, and the coral microbiome (bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, etc.). Such new data present an opportunity for bioinformatics researchers and computational biologists to contribute to a timely, compelling, and urgent investigation of critical factors that influence reef health and resilience.
