Mitochondrial genome of Chinese grass shrimp, Palaemonetes sinensis and comparison with other Palaemoninae species.

ABSTRACT: The mitogenome of Chinese grass shrimp, Palaemonetes sinensis, was determined through Illumina sequencing, and the basic characteristics and gene arrangement were analyzed. The mitogenome of P. sinensis was 15955 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and one control region, with tightly packed. 33 of these genes were encoded on the heavy strand, and the remainders encoded on the light strand. The composition of P. sinensis mitogenome presented a strong A + T bias, which account for 66.7%. All PCGs were initiated by a canonical ATN codon, except nad5, which was initiated by GTG. The termination codons of the PCGs were TAA, TAG and T-. The secondary structures of 22 tRNAs of P. sinensis had the typical clover structure, except of trnS1 owing
