belongs to phylum, class, and staghorn coral groups. Like other corals, could be an indicator for environmental changes and with great conservational values. In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of (Cnidarian: Acroporidae), has been decoded for the first time by low coverage whole genome sequencing method. The overall base composition of mitogenome is 25.0% for A, 13.8% for C, 24.4% for G, and 36.9% for T, and has low GC content of 38.2%. The assembled mitogenome, consisting of 18,480 bp, has unique 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), three transfer RNAs, and two ribosomal RNAs genes. The has one big intron insert in ND5 gene. The complete mitogenome of provides essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis for stony corals.
属于珊瑚虫纲、珊瑚目鹿角珊瑚科。与其他珊瑚一样，可能是环境变化的指示生物，具有很高的保护价值。在本研究中，首次通过低覆盖度全基因组测序方法解析了鹿角珊瑚属（刺胞动物门：鹿角珊瑚科）的完整线粒体基因组序列。该线粒体基因组的总体碱基组成为：A占25.0%，C占13.8%，G占24.4%，T占36.9%，GC含量较低，为38.2%。组装后的线粒体基因组由18,480个碱基对组成，包含独特的13个蛋白质编码基因（PCGs）、3个转运RNA和2个核糖体RNA基因。该鹿角珊瑚在ND5基因中有一个大的内含子插入。鹿角珊瑚的完整线粒体基因组为石珊瑚的进一步系统发育和进化分析提供了重要的DNA分子数据。
