| Abstract |
Okenia is a speciose genus of the family Goniodorididae with more than 50 valid species. The phylogenetic relationships within the genus are little known. The mitogenome is a good marker to understand the phylogenetic relationships of relative species. This study was performed to sequence the mitogenome of O. hiroi. The mitogenome of O. hiroi was 14,583 bp in size and was composed of 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. The nucleotide composition was 30.5% A, 13.6% C, 16.5% G, and 39.4% T. The phylogenetic analysis showed that O. hiroi is sister to Notodoris gardineri (Aegiridae). This study recorded the first mitochondrial genome sequence of the family Goniodorididae. |
