Data Sets

Acropora hyacinthus transplantation/bleaching experiment

Transcriptomic data from coral samples collected after 5 and 20 hours during exposure to bleaching stress.

Materials and methods can be found in:

Symbiodinium Clade C and D transcriptomes:

Transcriptomic contigs from Symbiodinium clades C and D isolated from Acropora hyacinthus colonies, Ofu Island, American Samoa.

Extraction and assembly methods can be found in:

Coral resilience investigated in the field and via a sea anemone model system. These data appear in Barshis et al (in revision), Ladner et al (in press) and are being simultaneously made available to the National Park Service where the Ofu research center is located.
