Complete mitochondrial genome sequences of a deep-sea holothurian species of the genus Scotoplanes (Elasipodida: Elpidiidae)

Two complete and one near-complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) were determined for a deep-sea holothurian species of the genus Scotoplanes (Elpidiidae). Each sequence contains two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 13 protein-coding genes, as found in most previously determined holothurian mitogenomes. The protein-coding genes use ATG or ATA as the start codon, and TAA or TAG as the stop codon. Phylogenetic reconstruction...
