The ability of octocorals and stony corals to deposit calcium carbonate (CaCO3) has contributed to their ecological success. Whereas stony corals possess a homogeneous aragonite skeleton, octocorals have developed distinct skeletal structures composed of different CaCO3 polymorphs and a skeletal organic matrix. Nevertheless, the molecular basis of skeletal structure formation in octocorals remains inadequately understood. Here, we sequenced the genomes and skeletal proteomes of two calcite-formi ...[more]
