Fig. 2: Expression Boxplots of Relevant Orthologs with Significant Differential Expression Between Disease States.

Eight of the orthologs identified by our immune and extracellular matrix (ECM) GO term search that exhibit significant differential expression between disease states (TukeyHSD; p ≤ 0.05). Boxplots show the rlog transformed expression of relevant orthologs in each sample, organized by coral species on the left and by disease status on the right. Color of gene headers correspond to biological function obtained from literature searches and GO terms. Color of boxplots correspond to experimental disease status: C Control (n = 25), E Exposed (no lesion, n = 8), and I Infected (with lesion, n = 19). P-values represent TukeyHSD results following one-sided ANOVA tests (*) = p ≤ 0.05; (**) = p ≤ 0.01, (***) = p ≤ 0.001. Boxplot elements: center line, median; box limits, upper and lower quartiles; whiskers, 1.5x interquartile range; points beyond whiskers, outliers). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
