title: The complete mitochondrial genome of banana shrimp Fenneropenaeus merguiensis with phylogenetic consideration.
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Fenneropenaeus merguiensis was determined by shotgun assembly method. The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence is a circular molecule with 16,023 bp in length including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and a control region. The gene arrangements are consistent with the pan crustacean ground pattern. The molecular analyses provided robust evidence for the monophyly of Fenneropenaeus, but Litopenaeus was not monophyletic. Phylogenetic analyses robustly supported the fact that genus Penaeus s.l. contains the two lineages: Marsupenaeus and Penaeus s.s+ Fenneropenaeus + Litopenaeus + Farfantepenaeus.
