The first mitochondrial genome of Tetraclita kuroshioensis (Crustacea: Sessilia) from China: insight into the phylogeny within Cirripedia.

ABSTRACT: We determined the first mitochondrial genome of Tetraclita kuroshioensis from China. The mitochondrial genome of T. kuroshioensis was found to be 15,175 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs. The longest non-coding region was 425 bp in length. Phylogenetic analysis showed that T. kuroshioensis clustered with T. serrata and then clustered with T. squamosa squamosa with high bootstrap value (BP = 100). In the future, sequencing of additional mitochondrial genomes should provide additional insights into the deep phylogeny of Cirripedia.
