Complete mitochondrial genome of the needle cuttlefish Sepia aculeata (Sepioidea, Sepiidae).
In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of the needle cuttlefish Sepia aculeata. The genome was 16,219 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 2 main non-coding regions [both are control regions (CR)]. The composition and order of genes, for the mitogenome found in S. aculeate, were similar to most other invertebrates. The overall base composition of S. aculeata is T 34.0%, C 17.0%, A 40.5% and G 8.5%, with a highly A + T bias of 74.5%. Two control regions (CR) both contain termination-associated sequences and conserved sequence blocks. This mitogenome sequence data would play an important role in the investigation of phylogenetic relationship, taxonomic resolution and phylogeography of the Sepiidae.
