Description
Summary:The complete mitochondrial genome of Antarctic fairy shrimp Branchinecta gaini Daday, 1910 was sequenced, assembled and annotated using next-generation sequencing technology. The mitogenome of B. gaini is circular at 15,536 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 23 tRNAs, two rRNAs and two major non-coding regions. In particular, there are two tRNAGly genes and one non-coding region between these two tRNAGly genes. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using concatenated amino acid sequences of 13 protein-coding genes. It reveals that B. gaini is clustered with the Anostraca group within the Branchiopoda clade. This study helps us understand the evolution of Anostraca.
