Genomic study of the rice coral Montipora capitata. (a) M. capitata colony photographed at Wai'ōpae, Southeast Hawai’i Island, that is ca. 0.25 m wide and of a similar height. Image provided by John Burns. (b) Maximum likelihood tree of 12 anthozoan species. The branch support values were estimated using 100 bootstrap replicates. (c) Venn diagram of coral gene families across M. capitata, Acropora species, and outgroups. (d) Venn diagram of coral gene families across M. capitata, A. digitifera, and outgroups. (e) Scatterplot of gene numbers in shared gene families between M. capitata and A. digitifera.
