Whole-genome survey information revealed the genome characteristics, mitochondrial genome diversity and evolutionary patterns of Stomatopoda species.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stomatopoda possess extremely unique biological characteristics and evolutionary process; however, their phylogenetic relationships remain controversial. To avoid gene tree conflicts caused by a small number of genetic markers in previous phylogenetic studies of Stomatopoda, this study provides the first whole-genome survey sequencing data for three Stomatopoda species (Odontodactylus japonicus, Odontodactylus scyllarus, and Lysiosquillina maculata).

Results

Genome size assessment indicates that the genomes of the three species are extraordinarily large (O. japonicus: 8,942 Mb; O. scyllarus: 11,068 Mb; L. maculata: 12,743 Mb), and characterized by high heterozygosity (1.25%-1.51%) and extensive repeats (83.26%-86.22%). We further assembled and annotated the mitoch
