Abstract

Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Sarcophyton trocheliophorum was completed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) method. The mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 18, 508 bp in length, containing 14 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and one transfer RNA gene (Met-tRNA). The base composition is 30.45% A, 16.03% C, 19.13% G, and 34.40% T, with an A + T content of 64.85%. A phylogenetic analysis of Alcyoniidae showed that genus Sarcophyton had the closest relationship with Sinularia .
