The complete mitochondrial genome of Ternate False Fusus Brunneifusus ternatanus Gmelin, 1791 (Neogastropoda: Buccinoidea: Melongenidae) obtained using next-generation sequencing.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome of Ternate False Fusus Brunneifusus ternatanus Gmelin, 1791 was determined and characterized for the first time from the South China Sea. Our results showed that the length of the whole mitogenome of B. ternatanus was 16,254 bp and the mitogenome consisted of 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and 2 rRNA genes. Furthermore, the nucleotide composition of this mitogenome is significantly biased with G + C contents of 31.85% (the base content was 30.38% A, 16.17% G, 37.77% T, and 15.68% C). All PCGs shared ATG as the initiation codon, and stop codon of TAA or TAG, with the exception of COX2 which ended with a single T. The phylogenetic tree showed that B. ternatanus was first clustered with Hemifusus tuba, and from a single distinct cluster. The new complete mitochondrial genome provides new insight into the phylogenetic of Melongenidae and its evolution.
