Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Parumbrosa polylobata

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome sequences of giant jellyfish Parumbrosa polylobata, a scyphozoan species inhabiting the Yellow Sea cold bottom water in China, is firstly described and analyzed in this research. It is 16,809 bp in length with a linear mitochondrial DNA. The base composition of the genome with A + T bias is 69.7%. There are 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs. Another two special PCGs, ORF360 and ORF147 with telomeres were found at both ends. The neighbor-joining (NJ) phylogenetic tree among the related 13 species showed that P. polylobata is close to Aurelia spp.
