The complete mitochondrial genome of the freshwater crab (Decapoda: Brachyura: Potamoidea).

is the only one freshwater crab species distributed in Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon and its complete mitochondrial genome was obtained for the first time. The complete mitochondrial genome of is 17,971 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 1 control region. In addition, the mitogenome has 19 noncoding regions ranging from 1 to 1396 bp in length.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the freshwater crab (Decapoda: Brachyura: Potamoidea).

We report the complete mitochondrial genome of for the first time, which is found to be 16,547 base pairs in length, and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA), and one non-coding AT-rich region known as the D-loop. In addition, the mitogenome has 17 intergenic regions ranging from 1 to 1512 bp in length. The mitochondrial genome of is the first mitochondrial genome under the genus , providing DNA data for species identification, enriching the species diversity of Brachyura, and providing a basis for further studies on population genetics and phylogenetics.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Somanniathelphusa boyangensis and phylogenetic analysis of Genus Somanniathelphusa (Crustacea: Decapoda: Parathelphusidae).

In this study, the authors first obtained the mitochondrial genome of Somanniathelphusa boyangensis. The results showed that the mitochondrial genome is 17,032bp in length, included 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs genes, 22 tRNAs genes and 1 putative control region, and it has the characteristics of the metazoan mitochondrial genome A+T bias. All tRNA genes display the typical clover-leaf secondary structure except tRNASer(AGN), which has lost the dihydroxyuridine arm.
