The skeletal proteomes of the coral Acropora millepora: the evolution of calcification by co-option and domain shaffling.Mol
In corals, biocalcification is a major function that may be drastically affected by ocean acidification (OA). Scleractinian corals grow by building up aragonitic exoskeletons that provide support and protection for soft tissues. Although this process has been extensively studied, the molecular basis...
