Abstract:
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Salmacis sphaeroides variegate was determined on Illumina HiSeq platform. The genome was 15,770 bp in size and contains 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 1 control region (180 bp). The composition of A + T in S. sphaeroides mtDNA was 61.90%. Except ND6 and 6 tRNAs, the others are on the H-strand. The phylogenetic relationships of 11 species of sea urchins were analyzed using the neighbor-joining method using software MEGA 7.0. S. sphaeroides was most closely related to Temnopleurus hardwickii.
