Transcriptomic resilience to heat stress in a wide-spread Acropora coral

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

The data set consists of whole transcriptome sequences (RNA) and physiological responses of 60 corals to an acute heat stress experiment. These data provide new insight into the genetic mechanisms that underlie recovery from heat stress in coral and highlight the role of transcriptional plasticity in the resilience of coral to increasing disturbances. Coral samples were collected on November 29th from Bundegi Reef in the Ningaloo Reef Marine Park, part of the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area. Samples were collected on SCUBA, total RNA was isolated, sequenced and analysed using DeSeq2.0 (Love et al., 2014).
