We report the first mitochondrial genome of a Verongid sponge, from the Pacific Ocean. This has 19,620 bp and includes 14 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs genes, and 25 tRNAs genes. The gene arrangement was similar to the one found in two Caribbean mitogenomes previously reported. Comparative analyses revealed a few substitutions among congeneric mitogenomes. The mitogenome of could be useful to study the evolution of Verongimorpha group and also to identify adequate genes for its molecular systematics.
我们报道了首个来自太平洋的Verongid海绵的线粒体基因组。该基因组有19,620个碱基对,包括14个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA基因和25个转运RNA基因。基因排列与之前报道的两个加勒比海线粒体基因组中的排列相似。比较分析揭示了同属线粒体基因组之间的一些替换。该线粒体基因组可能有助于研究Verongimorpha类群的进化,也有助于为其分子系统学鉴定合适的基因。
