Complete mitochondrial genome of Mastigias papua (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae: Mastigiidae) based on next-generation sequencing and phylogenetic analysis.

ABSTRACT: We assembled the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Mastigias papua (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae: Mastigiidae) by the data generated from the next-generation sequencing platform. The complete mitogenome of M. papua was 16,560 bp in length, containing 14 protein-coding genes, two transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes. The base compositions were A 30.65%, C 15.16%, G 16.34%, and T 37.86%, with a gene arrangement similar to the mitogenomes derived from other representatives of Scyphozoa. Based on the 13 common protein-coding genes of 16 species within Scyphozoa, we constructed the phylogenetic tree and found that M. papua has a close relationship with Cassiopea andromeda and Cassiopea xamachana. All these species belong to an order of jellyf
