The complete mitochondrial genome of the Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Panulirus argus is a keystone species and target of the most lucrative fishery in the Caribbean region. This study reports, for the first time, the complete mitochondrial genome of Panulirus argus (average coverage depth nucleotide-1?=?70×) assembled from short Illumina 150?bp PE reads. The AT-rich mitochondrial genome of Panulirus argus was 15 739?bp in length and comprised 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. A single 801?bp long intergenic space was assumed to be the D-loop. Most of the PCGs were encoded on the H-strand. The gene order observed in the mitochondrial genome of Panulirus argus corresponds to the presumed Pancrustacean ground pattern. KA/KS ratios calculated for all mitochondrial PCGs showed values?
