Complete mitochondrial genome of the jellyfish, Chrysaora pacifica (Goette, 1886) (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa) and the phylogenetic relationship in the related species

The complete mitochondrial genome sequences of giant jellyfish Chrysaora pacifica, a scyphozoan species inhabiting the Bohai Sea water in China, is firstly described and analyzed in this research. The mitogenome is a circular molecule 16,964 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes (Cox 1, Co...

Description
Summary:The complete mitochondrial genome sequences of giant jellyfish Chrysaora pacifica, a scyphozoan species inhabiting the Bohai Sea water in China, is firstly described and analyzed in this research. The mitogenome is a circular molecule 16,964 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes (Cox 1, Cox2, Atp 8, Atp 6, Cox 3, ND2, ND5, ND 6, ND3, ND4L,ND1,ND4, Cob), 2 tRNAs (trnW, trnM), 2 rRNA genes (small subunit RNA and large subunit RNA). The neighbor-joining (NJ) phylogenetic tree in the related species showed that C. pacifica is close to Chrysaora quinquecirrha.
