Comparative somatic genomics reveals divergent development of cell lineages across scleractinian corals

2026-05-21

Abstract excerpt

Somatic mutations may drive adaptation and aging across diverse life forms, yet their role remains poorly understood in many early-branching animals. Here, we compare somatic mutation accumulation in the robust coral Orbicella faveolata with previous findings in the complex coral Acropora palmata . Whole-genome sequencing revealed high fixation of somatic genetic variants in O. faveolata , particularly in older...
