Next-generation sequencing yields the complete mitogenome of Favia favus

In the present study, we determined the complete mitogenome sequence of scleractinia, Favia favus using the Illumina HiSeq platform. The assembled mitogenome was 17,054 bp in length, comprising unique 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs, and 2 transfer RNAs genes of each, showing a typical scleractinian pattern. New phylogenetic analysis upon complete mitogenomics revealed that F. favus is most closely related to Favites abdita, with high bootstrap values.
