Amplification of Immune Genes in Ancient Stony Corals for Adapting to Unstable Marine Environments
The Late Devonian period was known for disturbances such as lower temperatures and abnormal ocean carbon and nitrogen levels, leading to the extinction of approximately 21% of genus-level and 16% of family-level marine organisms. However, evolutionary responses of marine organisms to hardships have...
