Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016 Jul;27(4):2663-4. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2015.1043536. Epub 2015 Aug 10.
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the red-banded lobster, Metanephrops thomsoni (Decapoda, Astacidea, Nephropidae), is 19,835 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs, 24 transfer RNAs (including additional copies of trnW and trnL1), and 2 control regions (CR). The mitogenome of M. thomsoni has 10 long intergenic sequences (71-237 bp) with a high AT content (70.0%). The two CRs show 59.6% similarity and have an identical sequence region with a length of 295 bp. The mitogenome of M. thomsoni shows a novel gene arrangement compared with the pancrustacean ground pattern and is identical to that of M. sibogae, except for the two additional tRNAs (trnW and trnL1). Phylogenetic tree from maximum likelihood analysis using the concatenated sequences of 13 PCGs depicted M. thomsoni as one of the members of the superfamily Nephropoidea within Astacidea.
红斑龙虾（Metanephrops thomsoni，十足目，海螯虾科，海螯虾属）的完整线粒体基因组（线粒体基因组）长度为19,835 bp，包含13个蛋白质编码基因（PCG）、2个核糖体RNA、24个转运RNA（包括trnW和trnL1的额外拷贝）和2个控制区（CR）。红斑龙虾的线粒体基因组有10个长基因间隔序列（71 - 237 bp），AT含量较高（70.0%）。两个控制区显示出59.6%的相似性，并有一个长度为295 bp的相同序列区域。与泛甲壳动物基本模式相比，红斑龙虾的线粒体基因组呈现出一种新颖的基因排列，除了两个额外的tRNA（trnW和trnL1）外，与西博加海螯虾（M. sibogae）的相同。使用13个PCG的串联序列进行最大似然分析得到的系统发育树将红斑龙虾描绘为海螯虾亚目内螯虾总科的成员之一。
