Membranipora villosa Genome sequencing
The complete mitochondrial genome of Membranipora villosa Hincks, 1880 (Bryozoa: Cheilostomatida: Membraniporidae) was determined in this study through Illumina HiSeq sequencing. The mitogenome length was 14,576 bp, and its gene arrangement was similar to that of the mitogenome of membraniporids, having 12 protein-coding genes and two ribosomal RNAs. It had an overall A+T content of 63.7% (29.7% A, 16.7% C, 19.6% G, and 34.0% T). Our results could be used for future taxonomic and evolutionary studies of Cheilostomatida.
