Abstract

Abstract: In this research, on an Illumina platform, the full mitochondrial genome of Holothuria spinifera was listed in a sequence and also gathered by using the NovoPlasty v. 2.7.1. It was submitted to NCBI GenBank, and is available with accession number MN816440. The size of genome was 15, 812 bp and contained 12 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. The configuration of A + T in Holothuria spinifera mtDNA was 60.44%. Except five tRNAs and ND6, others are placed on the H-strand. By using the Neighbor-Joining method by software MEGA5.0, the phylogenetic relationship of 13 species of sea cucumber was analyzed. Holothuria spinifera was most closely associated to Parastichopus parvimensis .
