The primary structure of the mitochondrial genome of the bioluminescent crustacean, Vargula hilgendorfii, the sea-firefly (Arthropoda, Crustacea, Ostracoda), has sequenced using the transposon Tn5. The genome (15,923 bp) contains the same 37 genes (two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and 13 protein-coding genes) found in other Arthropoda. Interestingly, duplicate control regions (fragments of 778 and 855 bp) and triplicate short repeat sequences (fragments of 49 bp) occur. The AT composition of the protein-coding genes is lower than the published complete mitochondrial genomes within the Arthropoda. For gene arrangement, 13 transfer RNA genes and two protein-coding genes have moved and inserted directly or inversely relative to the typical Arthropoda order.
利用转座子Tn5对发光甲壳动物海萤（节肢动物门、甲壳纲、介形亚纲）线粒体基因组的一级结构进行了测序。该基因组（15923碱基对）包含与其他节肢动物相同的37个基因（两个核糖体RNA、22个转移RNA和13个蛋白质编码基因）。有趣的是，出现了重复的控制区（778和855碱基对的片段）和三倍体短重复序列（49碱基对的片段）。蛋白质编码基因的AT组成低于节肢动物门内已发表的完整线粒体基因组。在基因排列方面，13个转移RNA基因和两个蛋白质编码基因相对于典型的节肢动物顺序直接或反向移动并插入。
