The complete mitochondrial genome of Artemia salina Leach, 1819 (Crustacea: Anostraca)

In the study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Artemia salina was reported for the first time. The mitochondrial genome of A. salina is 15,762 bp in length, with the typical structure of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNA genes, and a major non-c...

Description
Summary:In the study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Artemia salina was reported for the first time. The mitochondrial genome of A. salina is 15,762 bp in length, with the typical structure of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNA genes, and a major non-coding region (CR). Phylogenetic analysis showed that A. salina has a much closer relationship with A. persimilis compared to other Artemia species. The complete cp genome sequence of A. salina reported here provided an essential resource for further population genetics research and germplasm conservation on Artemia.
