Mitochondrial genomes are useful tools for inferring evolutionary history.
However, many taxa are poorly represented by available data. Thus, to further understand
the phylogenetic potential of complete mitochondrial genome sequence data in Annelida
(segmented worms), we examined the complete mitochondrial sequence for Clymenella
torquata (Maldanidae) and an estimated 80% of the sequence of Riftia pachyptila
(Siboglinidae). These genomes have remarkably similar gene orders to previously
published annelid genomes, suggesting that gene order is conserved across annelids. This
result is interesting given the high variation seen in the closely related Mollusca and
Brachiopoda. Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence, amino acid sequence and gene
order all support the recent hypothesis that Sipuncula and Annelida are closely related.
Our findings suggest that gene order data is of limited utility in annelids but that
sequence data holds promise. Additionally, these genomes show AT bias (~66%) and
codon usage biases, but have a typical gene complement for bilaterian mitochondrial
genomes.
