Specimens of the black coral were collected from the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico. The complete mitochondrial genome of one of these specimens was obtained from genomic DNA by next-generation sequencing technology on the Illumina HiSeq 2500. Only three species of black corals have a completely sequenced mitochondrial genome. These were used to reconstruct the phylogeny for the order Antipatharia. The mitochondrial genome of is 17,712 base pairs and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and 2 transfer RNAs in the following order: 16s RNA, , (with intron), , , , , , , and (with intron and copies of and ), , , , , . The gene arrangement is the same as that for with a nearly identical sequence (99.35% identical). These results show that the mitochondrial genome within the family Myriopathidae is highly conserved.
黑珊瑚样本采集自墨西哥湾西北部。其中一个样本的完整线粒体基因组通过Illumina HiSeq 2500上的下一代测序技术从基因组DNA中获得。只有三种黑珊瑚拥有完全测序的线粒体基因组。这些被用于重建角珊瑚目的系统发育。其线粒体基因组为17712个碱基对，包含13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA和2个转运RNA，顺序如下：16s RNA、、（含内含子）、、、、、、、和（含内含子以及和的拷贝）、、、、、。基因排列与的相同，序列几乎相同（99.35%相同）。这些结果表明，多枝珊瑚科内的线粒体基因组高度保守。
