The Mitogenome of the Subarctic Octocoral
We sequenced and analyzed the complete mitogenome of a Norwegian isolate of the octocoral Alcyonium digitatum using the Ion Torrent sequencing technology. The 18,790 bp circular mitochondrial genome was found to harbor the same set of 17 genes, which encode 14 protein subunits, two structural riboso...
