Cell-resolved transcriptional responses during heat-induced coral bleaching and recovery

Coral reefs depend on an intracellular symbiosis between cnidarian hosts and photosynthetic dinoflagellates that is disrupted by ocean warming, causing coral bleaching.

Coral reefs depend on an intracellular symbiosis between cnidarian hosts and photosynthetic dinoflagellates that is disrupted by ocean warming, causing coral bleaching. Yet how these responses are distributed across coral cell types during stress and recovery remains unclear.…
