Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the feather star Cenometra bella was sequenced in this study. The mitogenome is 15,872 bp in length, with 13 PCGs, 22 tRNA, and two rRNA, and nucleotide composition was as follows: 24.38% A, 47.79% T, 11.16% C, and 16.68% G. Phylogenetic analyses place C. bella as closely related to Stephanometra indica, consistent with previous inferences.

Keywords: Crinoids; Echinodermata; genome skimming; mitogenome; phylogeny.
