title: Identification and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Eriocheir sinensis.
abstract: In the present study, the total mitochondrial genome of a precocious Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis was firstly determined. The genome is 16,350 bp in length. It consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and a control region. The overall nucleotide composition of the mitochondrial genome is A: 35.31 %, G: 10.69 %, T: 36.37 % and C: 17.63%, respectively. These results provide useful information to species identification, conservation and analysis the mechanisms of precocity in E. sinensis.
