Abstract:
The rock shells Thais is the most important genera of Muricidae. However, the systemically classification and phylogenetic studies have so far been limited. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Indothais lacera. The mitogenome has 15,272 base pairs (68.1% A + T content) and made up of a total of 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNAs and two ribosomal RNAs), but no control region. This study was the first available complete mitogenomes of Indothais and will provide useful genetic information for future phylogenetic and evolutionary classification of Thais.
