Abstract excerpt
Complete DNA sequences were determined for the mitochondrial (mt) genomes of the needle corals, Seriatopora caliendrum (17,011bp) and S. hystrix (17,060bp). Gene arrangement of the Seriatopora mt genomes is similar to the 14 currently published scleractinian mitogenomes with three unusual features, including an idiosyncratic atp8, a duplicated trnW (tRNA(TRP)), and a putative control region located between atp6...
