  1. White band disease (WBD) has caused unprecedented declines in the CaribbeanAcroporacorals, which are now listed as critically endangered species. Highly disease-resistantAcropora cervicornisgenotypes exist, but the genetic underpinnings of disease resistance are not understood. Using transmission experiments, a newly assembled genome, and whole-genome resequencing of 76A. cervicornisgenotypes from Florida and Panama, we identified 10 genomic regions and 73 single-nucleotide polymorphisms that are associated with disease resistance and that include functional protein-coding changes in four genes involved in coral immunity and pathogen detection. Polygenic scores calculated from 10 genomic loci indicate that genetic screens can detect disease resistance in wild and nursery stocks ofA. cervicornisacross the Caribbean.
