The complete mitochondrial genome of Poraniopsis inflata (Asteroidea: Valvatida: Poraniidae) from Dokdo Island, Korea.

ABSTRACT: This study presents the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Poraniopsis inflata, providing valuable information on its genetic and taxonomic studies. Through next-generation sequencing, we successfully obtained the complete mitogenome of P. inflata, spanning a length of 16,322 bp. This genome structure encompasses 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis, based on a dataset of 13 PCG sequences, illuminated the phylogenetic relationships of P. inflata with other species of class Asteroidea and a species of echinoderm classes. The maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree showed that P. inflata closely clustered with Linckia laevigata. By revealing its mitochondrial genome and positioning
