Heat-Tolerant Genes May Rescue Corals from Increasing Temperatures (1 of 8)

image: The reefs in the Far Northern Sector of the Great Barrier Reef are in very good condition and host corals that are tolerant to high temperatures. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the June 26, 2015, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by G.B. Dixon at University of Texas at Austin in Austin, Texas, and colleagues was titled, "Genomic determinants of coral heat tolerance across latitudes." view more
