[2PS-07]【J】Toward coral reef conservation: Environmental gene analysis opens new frontiers in environmental dynamics research

Thu. Dec 4, 2025 2:20 PM - 4:20 PM JST
Thu. Dec 4, 2025 5:20 AM - 7:20 AM UTC
Room 7(Pacifico Yokohama Conference Center 3F, 313+314)
Organizer: Ryo Yonezawa (The University of Tokyo), Nina Yasuda (The University of Tokyo)
Coral reef ecosystems are maintained through symbiotic relationships between corals and a diverse array of microorganisms, yet many aspects of their molecular-level interactions remain unresolved. In this symposium, we will employ novel approaches—including environmental exosome analysis and environmental RNA to visualize RNA-seq data derived from marine organisms. Based on the insights gained, we will discuss predictions and strategies for coral reef conservation.
2:20 PM - 2:30 PM JST(5:20 AM - 5:30 AM UTC)
