holobiont variation in corals from Sanya, South China Sea
This BioProject contains host RNA-seq and Symbiodiniaceae ITS2 amplicon datasets generated from natural and transplanted colonies of Acropora tenuis and Pocillopora damicornis collected in Sanya, South China Sea. Colonies were sampled in February 2026 from a natural reef group and from two transplantation cohorts established in 2021 and 2023 at the same restoration site. The project was designed to characterize cohort-associated variation in host transcriptional profiles and symbiont community composition under field conditions, with a focus on holobiont structure after coral transplantation.
