Research reports the complete mitochondrial genome, highlighting genetic differences in Dicyathifer mannii populations.
We report the first complete mitochondrial genome of the marine wood borer Dicyathifer mannii from Beihai, China. The genome is 17,158 bp long, containing 12 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs. The nucleotide composition is 40.7% T, 12.1% C, 21.8% A, and 25.5% G. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that the Beihai specimen clusters with conspecifics from Hainan, China, distinct from the Philippine population. This study provides valuable genomic resources for future research on D. mannii.
