Mitochondrial DNA sequence of Conus textile (Neogastropoda: Conidae)

Abstract

The cone snail Conus textile belongs to the family Conidae. It is a kind of molluscivorous species. The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence was constructed by next-generation sequencing in this study. The mitogenome of C. textile is 15,765 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 1 control region. The base composition was 27.3% A, 37.9% T, 15.7% C and 19.1% G. The phylogenetic tree of C. textile with the other 6 Conus species and 15 Neogastropoda sea snails was built. It provides fundamental data for further research of phylogeny and biogeography with this genus.
