Sea urchins (Echinoidea) are key components of marine benthic communities and many are commercially important fishery resources as luxury and healthy seafood. However, despite their high ecological and economic value, the mitochondrial genomes of all sea urchins have yet to be analyzed. In this study, we report the first complete mitochondrial genome of Stomopneustidae from . The mitogenome has 15,767 base pairs (59.77% A + T content) and contains 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNAs and 2 ribosomal RNAs), plus a putative control region. This study provides useful molecular resources for clarifying evolutionary and phylogenetic histories of sea urchins.
海胆(海胆纲)是海洋底栖生物群落的关键组成部分,许多海胆作为高档且健康的海鲜,是具有重要商业价值的渔业资源。然而,尽管它们具有很高的生态和经济价值,但所有海胆的线粒体基因组尚未得到分析。在本研究中,我们报道了来自[具体来源未给出]的头帕海胆科的首个完整线粒体基因组。该线粒体基因组有15,767个碱基对(A+T含量为59.77%),包含37个基因(13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA和2个核糖体RNA),外加一个假定的控制区。本研究为阐明海胆的进化和系统发育历史提供了有用的分子资源。
