Abstract:
Conus striatus is a kind of piscivorous cone snail. We have sequenced it by next generation sequencing method. We used de novo assembly and reference mapping methods to assemble mitogenome. The mitochondrial genome is 15,738 bp, containing 13 protein coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs and 2 ribosomal RNAs genes. The overall base composition of C. striatus is 25.9% for A, 16.3% for C, 20.8% for G and 38.6% for T. The phylogenetic analysis was conducted with 18 related species and confirmed the classification status. The complete mitogenome of the C. striatus provides an essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogeography and evolutionary analysis for cone snail phylogeny.
