Abstract

The mitogenome sequence of a typical multi-tentaculate cirratulid species, Timarete posteria (Terebellida, Cirratulidae), was determined first in the genus Timarete. The complete mitogenome is 15,497 bp in length, containing 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 23 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and gene order and structure are identical to those of other cirratulid species. Mitogenome consists of 30.4% A, 25.2% C, 12.8% G, 31.6% T, revealing high content of A + T, similar to the other cirratulid polychaetes. Results will be valuable for inferring phylogenetic relationships among members of Cirratulidae within the Terebellids.
