Abstract:
The total mitochondrial genome size of Sinergasilus undulatus is 14,239 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a non-coding control region (D-loop). The overall nucleotide composition of the mitochondrial DNA of S. undulatus is 34.9% A, 35.5% T, 15.7% C, 13.9% G, and 70.4% AT, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that the genus Sinergasilus is monophyletic, and S. undulatus is closely related to S. polycolpus. The complete mitochondrial genome of S. undulatus would be useful for species identification, epidemiology, and phylogenetics among Copepods.
