Naturally occurring fire coral clones demonstrate a genetic and environmental basis of microbiome composition

The microbiomes associated with reef corals are complex and diverse. Here, the authors investigate fire coral clones naturally occurring in distinct habitats as a model system to disentangle the contribution of host genotype and environment on their microbiome, and predict genomic functions based on...
