De novo transcriptome assembly for two color types of the marine sponge Mycale (Carmia) cecilia.

Abstract excerpt

Despite the ecological importance and the potential pharmacological application of the sponge Mycale (Carmia) cecilia, it is uncertain whether the body-color variation, even in individuals coexisting in the same area, is due to intraspecific phenotypic plasticity or corresponds to taxonomic divergence. This uncertainty is relatively common in several Porifera groups, which lack the resolution of morphological...
