The complete mitochondrial genome of an economic sea anemone (Paracondylactis sinensis) in the East China Sea.

ABSTRACT: Paracondylactis sinensis Carlgren, 1934 (Actiniidae, Actiniaria) is an edible sea anemone in China. Their wild population has intensively decreased in recent years due to overharvesting. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of this economic species collected in the coast of Zhejiang, China is sequenced and obtained using high throughput methods. The total length of this circular molecule is 20,786 bp. Thirteen protein coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, two transfer RNA (tRNA^Trp, tRNA^Met) genes and a putative ORF are annotated in it. Phylogenetic analysis based on the amino acids of mitochondrial genomes indicates that this species belongs to the family of Actiniidae. This result is consistent with the previous work that identified the edible sea
