| contents | Mitochondrial Genome of the Indo-Pacific Mesophotic Coral (Scleractinia: Agariciidae) Assembled Using PacBio Long-Read Sequencing. Adhikary, Nomita Rani Barshis, Daniel J Baeza, J Antonio , a mesophotic coral species belonging to the family Agariciidae, is distributed throughout the Indo-Pacific region. This species is considered as of "Least concern" by the IUCN, yet, faces multiple local and global stressors. To support conservation plans, this study sequenced and characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of . The complete mitochondrial genome of was assembled using PacBio long-reads with a coverage of 459× per bp. The AT-rich mitochondrial genome of is 18,546 bp long and comprises 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 transfer RNA genes (trnM and trnW), and 2 ribosomal RNA genes, all located on the heavy strand. The gene contains a long (11,235 bp) Group I intron. In the mitochondrial PCGs, TTT (Phe), TTA (Leu) and GTT (Val) codons were most abundant and a preference for synonymous codons ending in A or T, contributes to the AT-rich nature of the studied mitogenome. The two tRNAs exhibited typical cloverleaf secondary structures. The assembled mitogenome also comprised two relatively long non-coding regions (1031 and 591 bp) with numerous microsatellites and short tandem repeats. A Maximum Likelihood (ML) phylomitogenomic analysis based on 13 protein-coding genes confirmed the monophyletic status of the order Scleractinia and family Agariciidae. However, the genus is polyphyletic. Other than supporting conservation plans, the newly assembled complete mitochondrial genome of will contribute to the advancing of our understanding of mesophotic coral systematics. |
