The complete mitochondrial genome of Menathais tuberosa (Gastropoda Neogastropoda Muricidae) collected from Chuuk Lagoon

摘要

Complete mitochondrial genome of the knobbed rock shell sea snail Menathais tuberosa (Röding, 1798) has been sequenced and phylogenetic relationships evaluated due to mitochondrial protein coding genes. The size of mitochondrial genome for M. tuberosa is 15,294 bp and the nucleotide composition of the mitochondrial genome is 28.4% A, 16.5% C, 17.6% G and 37.5% T. Reconstructed phylogenetic tree of the Neogastropoda showed that M. tuberosa is in the monophyletic Muricidae. This is the first record of complete mitochondrial genome from the genus.
