Acropora aspera (C72)
Acropora aspera - coral nubbins were collected from reef flat, Heron Island, Australia. Samples were placed in aquaria at ambient temperature over a 72-h period (C72). Equal concentrations of a high quality RNA from biological replicates (n=5) were pooled together and used for sequencing using the Illumina GA II Sequencing System (using the Illumina® TruSeq® RNA Sample Preparation Kit) by Australian Genome Research Facility Ltd (AGRF) that resulted in over 6 million reads per replicate (four technical replicates) per sample.
