The complete mitogenome of (Decapoda: Polychelidae).

In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of has been decoded for the first time. The overall base composition is 33.4% for A, 25.0% for C, 10.8% for G, and 30.9% for T and has low GC content of 35.8%. The assembled mitogenome, 16,079 bp in length, has unique 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs and 2 ribosomal RNAs. The mitogenome shares 80% identity to . The complete mitogenome of provides essential DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis for Polychelidae and deep-sea faunas.
