Metagenomic insights into the taxonomy, function, and dysbiosis of prokaryotic communities in octocorals

Abstract Background In octocorals (Cnidaria Octocorallia), the functional relationship between host health and its symbiotic consortium has yet to be determined. Here, we employed comparative metagenomics to uncover the distinct functional and phylogenetic features of the microbiomes of healthy Euni...
