This repository includes data and analysis scripts to accompany: Ocean acidification influences host DNA methylation and phenotypic plasticity in environmentally susceptible corals

Authors: Putnam, Hollie M., Davidson, Jennifer M., Gates, Ruth D. Journal: Evolutionary Applications Link: Description: This repository provides data and scripts to analyze the influence of ocean acidification on host DNA methylation and phenotypic plasticity. Clonal coral fragments from Montipora capitata and Pocillopora damicornis were exposed to ambient and low fluctuating pH treatments for 6 weeks. Coral growth was measured every 2 weeks and samples were taken after 6 weeks of exposure for analysis of host DNA methylation and HNMR metabolomic profiling.
