The complete mitochondrial genome of freshwater crab Sinopotamon xiushuiense (Decapoda: brachyura: Potamoidea).

ABSTRACT: We report for the first time the complete mitochondrial genome of Sinopotamon xiushuiense, which is found to be 18,460 bp in length, and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA), and 1 non-coding region known as the D-loop. In addition, the mitogenome has 18 intergenic regions ranging from 1 to 1221 bp in length. The complete mitogenome of S. xiushuiense is the longest among brachyurans reported in GenBank before November 2015, and its AT content is slightly lower than that in Geotholphusa dehaani. The mitogenome data provides a basis for further studies on population genetics and phylogenetics.
