Abstract:
The complete Holothuria leucospilata mitochondrial genome was determined and analyzed in this work. It had a circular mapping molecular with a total length of 15,904 bp and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 1 putative control region. Phylogenetic analysis showed that H. leucospilata clustered together with Holothuria scabra and Holothuria forskali. The complete mitochondrial genome provided in this work would be used for elucidation of Holothuroidea conservation genetics and evolutionary relationships.
