With the advancements in high-throughput sequencing technologies such as Illumina, PacBio, and 10X Genomics platforms, and gas/liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, large volumes of biological data in multiple formats can now be obtained through multi-omics analysis. Bioinformatics is constantly evolving and seeking breakthroughs to solve multi-omics problems; however, it is challenging for most experimental biologists to analyse data using command-line interfaces, coding, and scripting. Based on experience with multi-omics, we have developed OmicsSuite, a desktop suite that comprehensively integrates statistics and multi-omics analysis and visualization.

In this study, we reported the complete mitogenome of sampled from the Beibu Gulf, South China Sea. It was 16,734 bp in length and contained 37 canonical mitochondrial genes and 2 non-coding regions. Fifty-one single nucleotide polymorphisms and five insertion and deletions were detected between two mitogenomes, suggesting a high level of intraspecific genetic variation in the species.

In this study, we determined the complete mitogenome of of which the length was 17,073 bp, including 37 canonical mitochondrial genes and 2 non-coding regions. The control region contained termination associated sequence domain (TAS), central conserved domain (CSB-F, CSB-E, CSB-D, CSB-C, and CSB-A), conserved sequence block domain (CSB-1, CSB-2, and CSB-3), and tandem repeat sequence domain (TTD). Nine single nucleotide polymorphisms and three insertion of tandem repeat sequence (each length in 28 bp) were detected between two mitogenomes.
