RNA-seq profiles of immune related genes in the staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis infected with white band disease.

Coral diseases are among the most serious threats to coral reefs worldwide, yet most coral diseases remain poorly understood. How the coral host responds to pathogen infection is an area where very little is known. Here we used next-generation RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) to produce a transcriptome-wide...
