The complete mitochondrial genome of the Favites halicora (Favites, Faviidae, Scleractinia)

In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of the Favites halicora (Favites) has been sequenced by the next-generation sequence method. The overall mitogenome of F. halicora is 25.09% for A, 13.09% for C, 20.33% for G, and 41.50% for T, as well as 33.41% for low GC. The assembled mitogenome, consisting of 17,033 bp, has unique 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 transfer RNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. The complete mitogenome provides essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis of stony coral phylogeny.
