Abstract
Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) has devastated Caribbean reefs, yet the host molecular response to infection is poorly understood. Previous gene expression studies of diseased corals identified shifts in the immune response, apoptosis, and coral-algal dysbiosis. Here, we characterized the proteomic response of Diploria labyrinthiformis to SCTLD by comparing protein abundance in healthy tissue from uninfected colonies and apparently healthy and neighboring diseased tissue from infected co
