The F-type complete mitochondrial genome of Chinese freshwater mussels Cuneopsis pisciculus
Abstract
The complete F-type mitochondrial genome of Cuneopsis pisciculus was first determined in this research. This circular genome (15,907 bp in size) contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and 2rRNA genes. The protein-coding genes initiated with orthodox ATG or ATA start codon. Twenty-five non-coding regions were found throughout the mitochondrial genome of C. pisciculus, ranging in size from 1 to 326 bp. The maximum was between tRNA(Gln) and gene ND5 (326 bp).
Keywords: Cuneopsis pisciculus; F-type mitogenome; non-coding region; start codon.
