The complete mitochondrial genome of red-clawed crab Chiromantes haematochir (Sesarmidae: Grapsidae).

ABSTRACT: The complete mitogenome of Chiromantes haematocheir is 15 899 bp in length contains the typical set of 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) (ATP6, ATP8, COI-III, ND1-6, ND4L, and Cyt b), two rRNAs (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), 22 tRNAs, and a putative CR (D-loop). All PCGs start with an ATG codon except ND1 start with ATT and ND3 start with ATA. TAA is the most frequent stop codon, although COI end with TA-, and COII stop with the single nucleotide T-. The new mtDNA sequence contains 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA of rRNAs, separated with tRNA^val. All tRNAs possess the typical clover leaf secondary structure except for tRNA^Ser(AGN) and tRNA^Leu(CUN), which lacks a dihydroxyuridine (DHU) arm. The CR is 826 bp i
