SAGER

Key Features:

• Genomic and Transcriptomic Integration: Consolidates draft genome assemblies from multiple Symbiodiniaceae species and marine algal genomes from MMETSP and PhyloDB, including transcriptome datasets from diverse culture conditions.
• Comparative Genomics and Homology Analysis: Provides BLAST-based sequence similarity searches and ortholog identification across Symbiodiniaceae, marine algae, and protists.

Scientific Applications:

• Coral Symbiosis and Stress Response Research: Enables analysis of gene function, expression patterns, and evolutionary relationships underlying Symbiodiniaceae–coral interactions and environmental adaptation.

Methodology:

SAGER aggregates genome draft assemblies and transcriptome datasets, implements BLAST for homology searches, and supports ortholog detection to facilitate cross-species comparative and functional genomic analyses.
