Abstract
Coral polyps are the subject of various studies, including in the field of molecular biology. At the moment, much attention is being paid to molecular studies of corals of the Hexacorallia subclass. For this purpose, we identified and characterized the sequences of the β-actin and 36B4 genes from the soft coral Sclerophytum heterospiculatum (Verseveldt, 1970).The 36B4 and β-actin genes are necessary for the normal functioning of cells and are highly conservative between taxa, which are confirmed by the phylogenetic tree obtained in this work.
