| Summary: | In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of Montipora digitata (Cnidarian: Acroporidae) has been decoded for the first time using the low-coverage whole-genome sequencing method. The overall base composition of M. digitata mitogenome for A, C, G, and T is 24.9%, 14.2%, 24.2%, and 36.8%, respectively, with a GC content of 38.3%. The assembled mitogenome consists of 17,884 bp with unique 13 unique protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNAs, and only three transfer RNAs genes. M. digitata has one big intron insertion in the ND5 gene. The complete M. digitata mitogenome provides essential and important molecular DNA data for further phylogenetic and evolutionary stony coral analysis.
