Complete mitochondrial genome of Hymeniacidon sinapium (Demospongiae, Halichondriidae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Hymeniacidon sinapium (Demospongiae, Halichondriidae) is reported here for the first time. The H. sinapium mitogenome is 23,435 base pairs in total length and includes 14 protein-coding gene sequences, small and large rRNA sequences, and 25 tRNA sequences. All genes are encoded on the heavy strand without overlapping genes.
