Transcriptome analysis of the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata.

The principal architects of coral reefs are the scleractinian corals; these species are divided in two major clades referred to as "robust" and "complex" corals. Although the molecular diversity of the "complex" clade has received considerable attention, with several ex...
