The complete mitochondrial genome of sea slug Phyllidiopsis krempfi Pruvot-Fol, 1957 (Nudibranchia, Phyllidiidae) from Pacific Ocean

Abstract

The mitogenome of Phyllidiopsis krempfi has been determined for the first time. The assembled mitogenome was 14,970 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. The gene content and order were identical with those of the other Phyllidiid species. The molecular taxonomic position of P. krempfi was clustered with the Phyllidiid species. The genus Phyllodiopsis clade is closely related with the genus Phyllidia. The mitogenome of P. krempfi provides significant DNA molecular data for further identification and phylogenetic analysis within the Phyllidiid.
