From: Merging scleractinian genera: the overwhelming genetic similarity between solitary Desmophyllum and colonial Lophelia

Fig. 2

Mitochondrial sequences, gene arrangement and comparison between two Desmophyllum dianthus (from Mediterranean Sea and Chilean fjord, circle of purple dots) and three Lophelia pertusa (from Mediterranean Sea and Norwegian fjords, circle of white dots) specimens. The mitochondrial genomes of D. dianthus and L. pertusa show 99.88 % of genetic similarity. Nucleotide substitutions obtained in this study are indicated at the intra- and interspecific levels (blue cross). Intraspecific variability of the mitochondrial genome of L. pertusa (white cross) is attributed to the study of Flot et al. (2013) [50]. Non-synonymous substitutions found at interspecific (green point) and intraspecific levels (purple point for D. dianthus; white point for L. pertusa) are represented for each gene from which they were obtained
