AI Article Synopsis

  • The complete mitochondrial genome of a specific organism was determined using shotgun sequencing, revealing a total size of 17,168 bp.
  • It includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 2 control regions, mostly located on the H-strand.
  • A phylogenetic tree was also created with this species and 12 related species, which will aid in studying evolutionary relationships and genetic diversity.

Article Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of was determined by shotgun sequencing. The total genome size is 17,168 bp, and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 ribosome RNA genes and 2 control regions (D-loops). Most of the genes of . were distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and eight tRNA genes which were encoded on the L-strand. The phylogenetic tree of . and 12 other closely related species was reconstructed. The mitogenome sequence presented here will be useful to study the evolutionary relationships and genetic diversity of . .
