Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Sesarma dehaani with phylogenetic analysis

Abstract

In this study, we first determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Sesarma dehaani. The mitogenome genome is a circular molecule of 15,917 bp, composed of 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs, and one non-coding region. The heavy strand was predicted to have 9 PCGs, 14 tRNA genes, and a D-loop region, while the light strand was predicted to include 4 PCGs, 2 rRNA genes, 8 tRNA genes. ATG and TAA are the dominant initiation codon and stop codon, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis shows that S. dehaani and Sesarma neglectum have close relationships.
