DNA Sequence of NADH2 gene from the Fortune Bay "Sea Monster"

Fortune Bay Sea Monster

This creature was identified by means of a BLAST search,
   [
BLAST : Basic Local Alignment and Search Tool ]
    which determines the homology of an unknown DNA sequence
    to the library of all known DNA sequences

To repeat the identification:

    Copy the above DNA sequence
    Go to the NCBI BLAST site
    Request a "nucleotide blast" (BLAST)
    Paste the DNA sequence into the Search box
             Under 'Choose search set' click 'nucleotide collection (nr/nt)'
             Under 'Program Selection' click  'Megablast'
    Hit the BLAST button
    Wait for your result

What is the Sea Monster?
