The species richness in Xishuangbanna is now being threatened by deforestation. 30 July 2013 Research Update Prof. Economo Wins Presidential Award from ASN Prof. Evan Economo, who leads OIST’s Biodiversity and Biocomplexity Unit, was awarded the 2013 Presidential Award from the American Society of Naturalists (ASN). 16 July 2013 Research Update A coral symbiont genome decoded for first time The Marine Genomics Unit has decoded the genome of the algae Symbiodinium minutum. This is a major advance in understanding the complex ecology of coral reefs. 12 July 2013 Research Update OIST Researchers Contribute to Findings Behind Mealybug Symbiosis A research team including OIST's Prof. Noriyuki Satoh has discovered that mealybugs have a tripartite symbiosis dependent on genes from multiple diverse bacteria. 20 June 2013 Research Update How Do Neurons Recognize Each Other at Synapses? In a paper in the June 5 issue of Neuron, researchers in the Cell Signal Unit and colleagues identified the mechanism behind how synapses assemble in cortico-basal ganglia circuits. 17 May 2013 Research Update Churaumi’s Coral Clone Behind the doors of the Churaumi Plaza at the Ocean Expo Park in Okinawa, visitors can now view a live display of the exact staghorn coral whose genome was first decoded by the OIST Marine Genomic Unit. 30 January 2013 Pagination First page … 12 13 14 … Last page Media Coverage Coverage of OIST in the media and on the web Media Coverage
