We present the first mitochondrial genomes from Chagos Archipelago, Indian Ocean, of three putative species of reef forming Acropora (Acropora aff. tenuis, Acropora aff.cytherea and Acropora aff. orbicularis). The circular genome consists respectively of 18,334 bp, 18,353 bp and 18,584 bp. All mitochondrial genomes recovered comprise 13 protein-coding genes, two transfer RNA genes and two ribosomal RNA genes, with an overall GC content ranging from 37.9% to 38.0%. These new genomic data contribute to our increased understanding of genus and its species boundaries, ultimately aiding species monitoring and conservation efforts.
我们展示了来自印度洋查戈斯群岛的三种疑似造礁鹿角珊瑚（细枝鹿角珊瑚近似种、赛氏鹿角珊瑚近似种和扁脑珊瑚近似种）的首个线粒体基因组。环状基因组分别由18,334个碱基对、18,353个碱基对和18,584个碱基对组成。所有恢复的线粒体基因组均包含13个蛋白质编码基因、两个转运RNA基因和两个核糖体RNA基因，总体GC含量在37.9%至38.0%之间。这些新的基因组数据有助于我们加深对该属及其物种界限的理解，最终有助于物种监测和保护工作。
