Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Sinularia penghuensis was sequenced and analyzed using next-generation sequencing. The present mitochondrial genome was 18730 bp in length, containing 14 protein-coding genes (PCGs) ( cox1 - cox3 . nad1 - nad6 , nad4L , atp6 , atp8 , cytb , and MutS ), two ribosomal RNA genes ( rRNA s) ( 12S and 16S ), and one transfer RNA gene ( Met-tRNA ). The phylogenetic analysis of family Alcyoniidae revealed that S . penghuensis and Sinularia maxima cluster together. Five species in Sinularia reveals high identity in mitogenome sequences that the lowest variable sites (SNPs) were found between S . penghuensis and S . maxima .<br />Competing Interests: No potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).<br /> (© 2021 The Author(s).
