The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Hermit Crab Diogenes edwardsii (Anomura: Diogenidae) and Phylogenetic Relationships within Infraorder Anomura.

ABSTRACT: A complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) can provide important information for gene rearrangement, molecular evolution and phylogenetic analysis. Currently, only a few mitogenomes of hermit crabs (superfamily Paguridae) in the infraorder Anomura have been reported. This study reports the first complete mitogenome of the hermit crab Diogenes edwardsii assembled using high-throughput sequencing. The mitogenome of Diogenes edwardsii is 19,858 bp in length and comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. There are 28 and six genes observed on the heavy and light strands, respectively. The genome composition was highly A + T biased (72.16%), and exhibited a negative AT-skew (-0.110) and positive GC-skew (0.233). Phylogenetic analyses bas
