Gene discovery in the threatened elkhorn coral: 454 sequencing of the Acropora palmata transcriptome.
BACKGROUND: Cnidarians, including corals and anemones, offer unique insights into metazoan evolution because they harbor genetic similarities with vertebrates beyond that found in model invertebrates and retain genes known only from non-metazoans. Cataloging genes expressed in Acropora palmata, a fo...
