Complete mitochondrial genome of (Decapoda, Xanthidae) from the Philippines.

In this study, a complete mitochondrial genome from the red egg crab, was sequenced and analyzed. The mitochondrial genome length is 16,333 bp and is composed of 13 protein-coding, two ribosomal RNA and 22 tRNA genes. The structure and gene orientation of the mitochondrial genome was found to be identical with the other brachyurans.

Complete mitochondrial genome of xanthid crab (Linnaeus, 1767).

The complete mitochondrial genome sequenced from the floral egg crab (Linnaeus, 1767) and the determination of the position of the species in the reconstructed phylogenetic tree of the infraorder Brachyura using the protein coding mitochondrial genes are presented. Results show the mitochondrial genome length of is 16,435 bp with nucleotide distribution as 33.4% A, 20.
