The first mitochondrial genome ofMegabalanus tintinnabulum(Sessilia: Balanidae) from China: phylogeny within Cirripedia based on mitochondrial genes

Abstract

2019) The first mitochondrial genome of Megabalanustintinnabulum (Sessilia: Balanidae) from China: phylogeny within Cirripedia based on mitochondrial genes, Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 4:2, 4016-4018, ABSTRACTHere we present the complete mitochondrial genome of Megabalanus tintinnabulum. The genome is 15,107 bp in length with a 67.35% AT content. It contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNAs genes, and 22 tRNAs. Both rRNAs are encoded on the light strand, as in the other crustacean and barnacle mitochondrial genomes. Besides five tRNAs are encoded on the light strand (nad1, trnV, trnL1, trnC, trnQ, and trnK). Only one PCG is encoded on the light strand (nad1), whereas the other 12 PCGs are located on the heavy strand, which is consistent with M. ajax. Phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial PCGs shows that M. tintinnabulum is clustered with M. ajax into a branch (BP ¼ 100), and the group with M. volcano with high support. This study contributes to further phylogenetic analysis within Cirripedia. ARTICLE HISTORY

The first mitochondrial genome of Balanus trigonus Darwin, 1854 (Sessilia: Balanidae) and molecular phylogeny within Cirripedia

“…In comparison with Sessilia, the arrangement of the mitochondrial genome of B. trigonus is more similar to Megabalanus spp. ( Megabalanus ajax , Megabalanus volcano , Megabalanus tintinnabulum ) than the congener Balanus balanus , which share a same inversion of a large gene block ( P - nd4L - nd4 - H - nd5 - F ) except a translocation between trnQ and trnC (Tsang et al 2017 ; Shen, Chu, et al 2016 ; Shen, Tsoi, et al 2016 ; Feng et al 2019 ).…”

Complete mitochondrial genome of Tetraclita squamosa squamosa (Sessilia: Tetraclitidae) from China and phylogeny within Cirripedia

“…fr/phyml/). A total of 30 species with 31 mitochondrial genomes from Cirripedia have been used in the phylogenetic tree Wares 2015;Shen, Chu, et al 2016;Shen, Tsoi, et al 2016;Feng et al 2019;Ge et al 2019;Kim et al 2019). This analysis involved four species belonging to genus Tetraclita: Tetraclita divisa, Tetraclita serrata, Tetraclita japonica CN/JP, and Tetraclita rufotincta.…”
