Abstract
ABSTRACT The mitochondrial genome of the long-spined black sea urchin, Diadema antillarum , was sequenced using Illumina next generation sequencing technology. The complete mitogenome is 15,708 bp in length, containing 2 rRNA, 22 tRNA and 13 protein-coding genes, plus a non-coding control region of 133 bp. The nucleotide composition includes 18.37% G, 23.79% C, 26.84% A and 30.99% T. The A + T bias is 57.84%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 12 complete mitochondrial genomes of sea urchins including four species of the family Diadematidae supported familial monophyly, however the two Diadema species, D. antillarum and D. setosum were not recovered as sister taxa.
