Abstract

<abstract> <title>Abstract</title> <p>We sequenced 16, 775 bp of the linear mitochondrial DNA of the jellyfish <italic>Chrysaora quinquecirrha</italic> and characterized them. <italic>C. quinquecirrha</italic> has 13 protein-coding genes (<italic>PCG</italic>s), <italic>16S rRNA</italic> and <italic>12S rRNA</italic> with 3 <italic>tRNA</italic>s (<italic>tRNA-Leu, tRNA-Ser(TGA), tRNA-Met</italic>) as shown in <italic>Aurelia</italic> sp. nov. Both have another two <italic>PCG</italic>s such as <italic>helicase</italic> and <italic>orf363</italic> with telomeres at both ends. The <italic>PCG</italic>s of <italic>C. quinquecirrha</italic> shows anti-G bias on 2nd and 3rd positions of <italic>PCG</italic>s as well as anti-C bias on 1st and 3rd positions of <italic>PCG</italic>s.</p> </abstract>
