    • Abstract:
      A coral cDNA array containing 32 genes was used to examine the gene expression profiles of coral populations located at four sites that varied with distance from a semi-submerged municipal dump in Castle Harbour, Bermuda (previously identified as a point source of anthropogenic stressors). Genes on the array represent transcripts induced under controlled laboratory conditions to a variety of stressors both natural (temperature, sediment, salinity, darkness) and xenobiotic (heavy metals, pesticides, PAH) in origin. The gene expression profiles produced revealed information about the types of stressors. Consistent with other studies undertaken in Castle Harbour, the coral cDNA array detected responses to heavy metals, sedimentation, as well as oxidative stress.
