Reanalysis and Revision of the Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Artemia urmiana Günther, 1899 (Crustacea: Anostraca)

In the previously published mitochondrial genome sequence of Artemia urmiana (NC_021382 [JQ975176]), taxonomic status examined had not been determined, due to parthenogenetic populations coexisting with A. in Urmia Lake. Additionally, NC_021382 [JQ975176] has obtained pooled cysts (0.25 g consists 20,000–25,000 cysts), a single specimen. With regard Lake, and intra- inter-specific variations samples, cannot be recommended as valid any attempt attribute it or population is unreasonable. aid next-generation sequencing methods, we characterized assembled complete defined status. Our results reveal that mitogenome tRNA-Phe erroneously attributed heavy strand but encoded light strand. There was major problem position ND5. It extended over tRNA-Phe, which biologically incorrect. We have also identified partial nucleotide 311 bp probably duplicated assembly control region [JQ975176], enlarges length by 16%. This could recognized our well 48 further specimens urmiana. Although, only COX1 16S genes widely used for phylogenetic studies Artemia, findings substantial differences composition some other (including ATP8, ATP6, ND3, ND6, ND1 COX3) among species. suggested these markers should included future studies.
