Complete Mitogenome Sequencing, Annotation, and Phylogeny of Grateloupia turuturu, a Red Alga with Intronic cox1 Gene.

ABSTRACT: The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) is essential for identifying species and tracing genetic variation, gene patterns, and evolutionary studies. Here, the mitogenome of Grateloupia turuturu was sequenced on the Illumina sequencing platform. This circular mitogenome (28,265 bp) contains 49 genes, including three rRNAs, twenty transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and twenty-six protein-coding genes (PCGs). Nucleotide composition indicates biased AT (68.8%) content. A Group II intronic sequence was identified between two exons of the cox1 gene, and this sequence comprises an open reading frame (ORF) that encodes a hypothetical protein. The gene content, annotation, and genetic makeup are identical to those of Halymeniaceae members. The complete mitogenome sequences of the Grateloupia
