The mitogenome data of Holothuria (Mertensiothuria) leucospilota (Brandt,1835) from Malaysia.

ABSTRACT: White threads fish Holothuria (Mertensiothuria) leucospilota (Brandt, 1835) or locally known as bat puntil is a neritic marine organism, and it is widely distributed in Indo Pacific. They serve many important roles in ecosystem services and were discovered to contain many bioactive compounds that are useful for medicinal value. However, despite its abundance in Malaysian seawater, there is still a lack of records on H. leucospilota mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) from Malaysia. The mitogenome of H. leucospilota originating from Sedili Kechil, Kota Tinggi, Johor, Malaysia, is presented here. Whole genome sequencing was successfully sequenced using Illumina NovaSEQ6000 sequencing system and the mitochondrial-derived contigs were assembled using de novo ap
