The complete mitochondrial genome of the Acropora cerealis

Abstract

In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of the Acropora cerealis (Acropora), has been sequenced by next-generation sequence method. The overall of A. cerealis mitogenome is 24.88% for A, 14.15% for C, 24.13% for G, and 36.84% for T, as well as 38.28% for low GC. The assembled mitogenome, consisting of 17,940 bp, has unique 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 transfer RNA genes and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. The complete mitogenome provides essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis of stony coral phylogeny.
