Fig. 3: Expression of single-copy coral orthologs significantly correlated to disease phenotypes.

The eight single-copy orthologs identified by EVE as lineage-specific (exhibiting low expression plasticity within species, but high variation between species) with significant correlation to species-level disease phenotypes (Pearson correlation; p ≤ 0.05, R < −0.85 or R > 0.85). a Heatmaps plot the rlog transformed expression levels of each ortholog averaged across coral species. b Scatterplots plot this expression on the y-axis and the disease phenotype on the x-axis. One-sided Pearson correlation coefficients and P-values are provided for the linear trendline (black), and the gray area represents a 95% confidence interval.
