The complete mitochondrial genome of the pink sea fan, Eunicella verrucosa (Pallas, 1766)

Figures & data

Figure 1. Phylogram constructed by maximum-likelihood analysis of 17 octocoral mitochondrial genomes using the PhyML plugin for Geneious v6.1.8. The analysis comprises 16 Alcyonacea (soft corals) genomes and a Pennatulacea (sea pens) genome as an outgroup; sequence data for all 14 mitochondrial protein-coding genes were extracted from complete mitochondrial genomes available in GenBank and aligned using ClustalW in Geneious v6.1.8; see Supplemental Material, section S3, for full details. All nodes (except one – see values for ML/BI on * node) had consensus support values of >70 for maximum likelihood and >90 for Bayesian inference. The Eunicella verrucosa specimen (sequenced in the current study) is labeled in bold.
