Background: Heliopora coerulea, the blue coral, is the octocoral characterized by its blue skeleton. Recently, two Heliopora species were delimited by DNA markers: HC-A and...

Transcriptome sequencing of the adult tissue of Heliopora coerulea

Species delimitation of corals is one of the most fundamental issues in coral reef ecology and biology. While morphological classification of closely-related coral species is...

Biomineralization is the process by which organisms form minerals that they use for support,protection, or nutrient storage, such as shells, skeletons, and bones. It is...

Blue coral, Heliopora coerulea, has hard crystalline aragonite skeleton with blue pigment. This blue pigment was considered to be originated from biliverdin, which was produced...

Sequence data were captured using a targeted enrichment approach for UCEs and exons.

Biomineralization is a taxonomically ubiquitous process by which organisms form minerals that they use for support, protection, or nutrient storage, such as shells, skeletons,...

Most of the reef-building corals have pelagic larval duration and thus estimating the spatial range of larval dispersal is of great importance for conservation. Spatial...

Blue coral Heliopora coerulea is the reef-building octocoral. Here, we generated a high-quality genome of H. coerulea using the highly accurate PacBio long-read HiFi sequencing...
