Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of Thor amboinensis was obtained and described in this study. This complete mitochondrial genome is 15,553 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. Twenty-two genes were encoded by the heavy strand. The overall base composition of the heavy-strand was 36.09% A, 12.36% G, 14.54% C, and 37.01% T, with a high G + C content of 26.90%. The phylogenetic analysis suggested that T. amboinensis was closest to Lebbeus groenlandicus. The newly described mitochondrial genome may provide valuable data for phylogenetic analysis for Hippolytidae.
