Sequencing of complete mitochondrial genome of Saccharina latissima ye-C14.

AbstractThe complete the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of Saccharina latissima ye-C14 (37,659 bp) was determined using Illumina sequencing data. The genome contains 38 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 3 ribosomal RNA (rRNA), 25 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes that are typical of Saccharina mtDNA. A phylogenetic analysis based on the mitochondrial genome of brown algae and coxI gene indicated that S. latissima and S. coriacea are closely related a sister taxon, which strongly supports their close phylogenetic affinity.
