Sponges, despite their simple body plan, discriminate between self and nonself with remarkable specificity.Sponge grafting experiments simulate the effects of natural self or nonself contact under laboratory conditions.Here we take a transcriptomic approach to investigate the temporal Grinder response to self and nonself grafts in the marine demosp
