AB  - We performed a molecular cytogenetic investigation of the scleractinian coral 
      Acropora solitaryensis, which is dominant in the temperate region of Japan 
      (30-35 degrees N). Molecular cytogenetic analysis, using fluorescence in situ 
      hybridization (FISH), was carried out for karyotyping and gene mapping. We 
      propose the karyotype of this coral (2n = 30) based on C-banding and FISH 
      analyses. FISH mapping of the rRNA gene was carried out with a probe generated by 
      PCR amplification using rRNA gene primers. Furthermore, the telomeres and 
      centromeres of all chromosomes were visualized using FISH. By comparative genomic 
      hybridization using DNA from sperm and unfertilized eggs of this coral, we offer 
      evidence suggesting the existence of sex chromosomes in this species. 
      Collectively, these data advance our understanding of coral genetics.
