The total mitochondrial genome size of Sinergasilus undulatus is 14,239 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a non-coding control region (Dloop). The overall nucleotide composition of the mitochondrial DNA of S. undulatus is 34.9% A, 35.5% T, 15.7% C, 13.9% G, and 70.4% AT, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that the genus Sinergasilus is monophyletic, and S. undulatus is closely related to S. polycolpus. The complete mitochondrial genome of S. undulatus would be useful for species identification, epidemiology, and phylogenetics among Copepods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
