Novel gene arrangement in the mitochondrial genome of the Cortés Geoduck clam (Panopea globosa)

The mitogenome of the Cortés geoduck clam Panopea globosa (Genbank accession KM580068) has a length of 15,469 bp and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA and 22 transfer RNA genes, as conventional metazoan mitochondrial genomes. Structural genes start with ATG, ATA and GTG codons; where...

Description
Summary:The mitogenome of the Cortés geoduck clam Panopea globosa (Genbank accession KM580068) has a length of 15,469 bp and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA and 22 transfer RNA genes, as conventional metazoan mitochondrial genomes. Structural genes start with ATG, ATA and GTG codons; whereas TAG and TAA are used as stop codons. Base composition is: 23.3% A, 40.4% T, 10.1% C and 26.1% G. As is typical of marine bivalves, all genes are coded on the same strand. On the other hand, the gene arrangement is considerably different from those found in other heterodont bivalve mitogenomes.
