The Complete Mitochondrial Genome Of The Photosymbiotic Sea Slug Berghia Stephanieae (Valdes, 2005) (Gastropoda, Nudibranchia)

Berghia stephanieae (Nudibranchia, Cladobranchia) is a photosymbiotic sea slug that feeds exclusively on sea anemones from the genus Exaiptasia. It then specifically incorporates dinoflagellates belonging to the Symbiodiniaceae obtained from their prey. Here, we present the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of B. stephanieae combining Oxford Nanopore long read and Illumina short-read sequencing data. The mitochondrial genome has a total length of 14,786 bp, it contains the 13 protein-encoding genes, 23 tRNAs, and two rRNAs and is similar to other nudibranchs except for the presence of a duplicated tRNA-Ser 1.
