Complete mitochondrial genome of the marine mysid Neomysis awatschensis (Mysida, Mysidae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from the marine mysid Neomysis awatschensis. The sequenced total genome size was 19,135 bp. The mitochondrial genome of N. awatschensis contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNAs, and 22 tRNAs. Of 13 PCGs, all the genes had complete stop codons TAA and TAG, respectively, while the start codon of 13 PCGs was ATG (CO1, Cytb, ND4L, ATP8, ATP6, and ND4 genes), ATT (CO3, ND2, and ND5 genes), and ATA (CO2, ND3, ND6, and ND1 genes), respectively. The ratio of A + T and G + C nucleotides of 13 PCGs of N. awatschensis mitogenome showed 68.8% and 31.2%, respectively, while those ratio of all the sequences were 70.8% and 29.2%, respectively.
