Iso-Seq of Porites lutea tissue
Coral (P. lutea) colonies were collected from the Maiton Island in the Andaman Sea and transferred to flow-through aquaria, which circulated seawater pumped from the reef to the Phuket Marine Biological Center Research Station. Colonies were acclimated for 14 days across four flow-through aquaria at ambient temperature (29 C). During the experiment, two aquaria were maintained at the ambient water temperature while the other two aquaria were exposed to a heat treatment at 34 C. Coral nubbins were removed from the aquaria for sampling at the beginning of the experiment (day 0) and after 6 and 13 days of heat stress treatments.
