The complete mitochondrial genome of Metapenaeus affinis (Decapoda: Penaeidae)
Metapenaeus is one of the most important genera of Penaeidae. However, the systematics and phylogenetics studies of family Penaeidae have so far been limited. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of M. affinis. The mitogenome has 16,027 base pairs (65.9% A + T content)...

| Summary: | Metapenaeus is one of the most important genera of Penaeidae. However, the systematics and phylogenetics studies of family Penaeidae have so far been limited. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of M. affinis. The mitogenome has 16,027 base pairs (65.9% A + T content) and made up of a total of 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNAs and two ribosomal RNAs), and a putative control region. This study was the second available complete mitogenomes of Metapenaeus and will provide useful genetic information for future phylogenetic and taxonomic classification of Penaeidae. |
