AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of a deep-sea asteroid, which is 16,253 base pairs long and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes.
- No rearrangements or deletions were found when comparing this genome to others in the Paxillosida group, while certain genes had unique start codons consistent with past echinoderm studies.
- Challenges in establishing molecular relationships at lower taxonomic levels were noted due to limited data, but this research aims to enhance database accessibility and assist in future phylogenetic studies.
Article Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of , deep-sea inhabited asteroid, was examined in this study. The complete mitogenome of is 16,253 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes. No gene rearrangements or deletions were observed in compared to other Paxillosida. The ND4L and ND3 genes have 'ATT' as its start codon, which is a feature that has been found in previous echinoderm mitochondrial studies. In the ML tree analysis based on the superorder Valvatacea, it was difficult to establish the molecular phylogenetic relationship at lower taxonomic levels, such as order and family, due to the lack of asteroid molecular data available. Therefore, we expect to contribute to the expansion of the data and determine the phylogenetic positioning in future studies.
