The complete mitochondrial genome of the jellyfish Aurelia coerulea (Cnidaria and Scyphozoa) with phylogenetic analysis
In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of the jellyfish Aurelia coerulea (A. coerulea). The mitochondrial genome was a linear form (16,748 bp long, 65.7% AT), consisting of 13 protein coding genes (PCGs) (cox1, cox2, atp8, atp6, cox3, nad2, nad5, nad6, nad3, nad4L, nad1, nad4,...

| Summary: | In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of the jellyfish Aurelia coerulea (A. coerulea). The mitochondrial genome was a linear form (16,748 bp long, 65.7% AT), consisting of 13 protein coding genes (PCGs) (cox1, cox2, atp8, atp6, cox3, nad2, nad5, nad6, nad3, nad4L, nad1, nad4, and cytB), 2 rRNAs (12S and 16S), and 2 tRNAs (trnM and trnW). Mitochondrial gene arrangement of the A. coerulea was identical when compared to already-known mitochondrial genomes of Aurelia species. The maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree using of 13 mitochondrial proteins showed that A. coerulea collected from Korea waters was closely related to A. limbata. |
