Complete mitochondrial genome of Henricia pachyderma (Asteroidea, Spinulosida, Echinasteridae) and phylogenetic analysis. Issue 2 (2nd April 2020) - Lee, Taekjun
Abstract: Next-generation sequencing was used to obtain the complete mitogenome of Henricia pachyderma (Hayashi, 1940 ). The mitogenome form was found to be a circular molecule 16, 192 bp long with a 57.1% AT bias. Gene arrangement and composition of H. pachyderma were exactly the same as those of previously reported mitogenomes from other species of the family Echinasteridae, including H. leviuscula and Echinaster ( Othilia ) brasiliensis . Phylogenetic analysis with maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference revealed that H. pachyderma formed a monophyletic clade with H. leviuscula and E. ( O. ) brasiliensis belonging the same taxon, family Echinasteridae.
