Abstract
The complete sequence (37 657 bp) of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of the Saccharina sp. ye-W was determined using Illumina sequencing data. The genome contains 38 protein-coding genes (PCG), three ribosomal RNA (rRNA), 25 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes that are typical of Saccharina mtDNA. Phylogenetic analysis based on the mitochondrial genomes of brown algae indicated that Saccharina sp. ye-W and Saccharina longissima, Saccharina japonica are the most closely related species, which strongly supports their close phylogenetic affinity.
