Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of cone snail Conus quercinus a kind of worm-hunting sea snails, was performed by next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome is 16,439 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes (12S and 16S rRNA), and one control region. It has overall base composition of A (28.1%), T (38.2%), C (14.7%), and G (18.6%). It shows 75.9% identity with C. capitaneus, which also belongs to worm-hunting sea snail. The phylogenetic analysis was conducted with 22 closely related species to assess their phylogenetic relationship. The complete mitogenome of the C. quercinus provides important DNA molecular data for further phylogeography.
