Mitochondrial genome of Tesseropora rosea: molecular evidence for non-monophyly of the genus Tetraclita
The complete mitochondrial genome of Tesseropora rosea (Tetraclitidae) was presented. The genome is a circular molecule of 15,330 bp, which encodes 13 PCGs, two rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. The length of all non-coding regions is 768 bp, with the longest one speculated as the control region (255 b...

| Summary: | The complete mitochondrial genome of Tesseropora rosea (Tetraclitidae) was presented. The genome is a circular molecule of 15,330 bp, which encodes 13 PCGs, two rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. The length of all non-coding regions is 768 bp, with the longest one speculated as the control region (255 bp), which is located between 12S rRNA and trnK. Phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial PCGs shows that T. rosea is nested within the genus Tetraclita, more closely related to Tetraclita japonica than to Tetraclita rufotincta or Tetraclita serrata. Thus, the monophyly of the genus Tetraclita is not supported. |
