Telomere DNA length regulation is influenced by seasonal temperature differences in short-lived but not in long-lived reef-building corals
Abstract Telomeres are environment-sensitive regulators of health and aging. Here,we present telomere DNA length analysis of two reef-building coral genera revealing that the long- and short-term water thermal regime is a key driver of between-colony variation across the Pacific Ocean. Notably, ther...
