Samples were collected from two reefs showing signs of active stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) in February of 2020: Buck Island and Black Point. Black Point, a nearshore reef, first exhibited cases of SCTLD between December 2018 and January 2019, whereas Buck Island, situated near an offshore undeveloped island, recorded its first cases of SCTLD in October 2019. At both sites, one coral fragment was collected from each apparently health colony (Buck Island, n = 3; Black Point, n = 3), termed apparently healthy tissue on an apparently healthy colony (HH). Two fragments were collected from each diseased colony: one immediately adjacent to the SCTLD lesion line (Buck Island, n = 3: Black Point, n = 5), termed lesion tissue on a diseased colony (LD), and one as far away from the lesion line as possible (approximately 10 cm from the lesion line) (Buck Island, n = 3; Black Point, n = 5), termed apparently healthy tissue on a diseased colony (HD). Sample and data analysis was performed in January 2024. Sequences were used in a feature selection algorithm to identify the genes in M. cavernosa and its dominant algal endosymbiont, Cladocopium goreaui, that best discriminate between the three SCTLD health states. By characterizing the gene expression profiles associated with various tissue health states in M. cavernosa and C. goreaui, this data supports evidence that SCTLD causes dysbiosis between the coral host and its Symbiodiniaceae and describes the metabolic and immune shifts that occur as the holobiont transitions from an apparently healthy state to a diseased state.\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nSample_ID (unitless)\nNCBI_BioProject_accession (unitless)\nNCBI_BioSample_accession (unitless)\nNCBI_SRA_accession (unitless)\nSample_type (unitless)\nCoral_species (unitless)\nReef_Name (unitless)\nReef_type (unitless)\nCollection_Date (unitless)\nlatitude (degrees_north)\n...
