Acropora anthocercis
Acroporae anthocrcis is a stony coral species belonging to the genus Acropora within the family Acroporidae. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of A. anthocrcis was assembled and annotated for the first time using high-throughput sequencing technology. The mitochondrial genome is 18,567 bp in length and comprises 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, exhibiting a notable AT bias and strand-specific gene distribution. This work not only enriches the mitochondrial genome database of Acropora species but also provides a valuable foundation for future research on genetic variation, molecular taxonomy, and evolutionary relationships within the genus
