The human genome was sequenced in 2003. More recently, the organization Great Barrier Reef Foundation, along with an international consortium of scientists named ReFuGe2020, sequenced the world’s first coral genome along with co-existing organisms. DNA was sequenced from nine species of coral. The researchers also designed a way to fast track the sequencing process. The data obtained are freely available to the public through the Reef Genomics open access database to support new research. Several other coral genomes have since been sequenced. Such research hopes to answer questions related to corals’ behavior, and what can be done to help them adapt to changing environments.
