Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Marine Polychaete Ophryotrocha xiamenensis

A 16,111 base pair mitochondrial genome for the marine polychaete Ophryotrocha xiamenensis, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. The data, published by author Yiping Feng in 2026, supports phylogenetic analysis and genetic resource development for the genus.

Use Cases

• Conduct phylogenetic analysis using the concatenated sequences of all 13 protein-coding genes to place species within the 'labronica' clade.
• Compare the order of gene arrangement with Ophryotrocha japonica to study evolutionary patterns in mitochondrial genomes.
• Use the annotated mitogenome, including transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA genes, as a reference for genetic studies on polychaete regeneration.

Strengths

• Provides the complete 16,111 base pair mitochondrial genome sequence.
• Contains a fully annotated set of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes.
• Includes results from phylogenetic analysis using both maximum-likelihood and Bayesian methods.

Limitations

• Dataset is small (3.2 MB), consisting primarily of a single genome sequence and analysis documents.
• Data is presented in document formats (DOCX, PDF), not in a structured, machine-readable table format.
• Limited to one species, Ophryotrocha xiamenensis, reducing comparative scope without additional genomes.
