Hey guys can you read this?

It's a good paper. As a TA I would have given it a good grade. It reads more like a graduate level paper than undergrad.

If you feel so inclined, maybe some background info such as:
-coral phylogenies have largely focused on skeletal structures
-this is not possible with many soft corals, especially those lacking spicules
-mitochondrial DNA appears to be a better means to investigate coral phylogenies
-coral appearances can differ under different environmental conditions, for the same species
Maybe some good questions:
-what is the application? to identify species, biochemical processes that produce promising medical compounds?
-is there merit to sequencing coral genetics? biomedical applications?
-are there any ah-ha's? like all along we thought some corals were the same but in fact they are not...

It's pretty good as is, but if you want to later tweak it... I ended up publishing many of my school papers just giving them complete overhauls to suit a hobbyist audience. You can get a few hundred bucks an article from the likes of TFH, as long as you've changed it so that it's something a reader would be interested in reading. You may also want to ask the mods to pull this post. You can't submit an article that you've already submitted/posted elsewhere... as publishers are buying the "first publication rights"
