Characterization of the Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Agelas nakamurai from the South China Sea.

ABSTRACT: The Agelas genus sponges are widely distributed and provide shelter for organisms that inhabit reefs. However, there is a lack of research on the genetic diversity of the Agelas sponges. Additionally, only one Agelas mitochondrial genome has been documented, leaving the characteristics of the Agelas genus's mitogenome in need of further clarification. To address this research gap, we utilized Illumina HiSeq4000 sequencing and de novo assembly to ascertain the complete mitochondrial genome of Agelas sp. specimens, sourced from the South China Sea. Our analysis of the cox1 barcoding similarity and phylogenetic relationship reveals that taxonomically, the Agelas sp. corresponds to Agelas nakamurai. The mitogenome of Agelas nakamurai</
