Mitochondrial genome of Rhabdosynochus viridisi (Monogenea: Diplectanidae), a parasite of Pacific white snook Centropomus viridis

We report the nearly complete mitochondrial genome of Rhabdosynochus viridisi – the first for this genus – achieved by combining shotgun sequencing of genomic and cDNA libraries prepared using low-input protocols. This integration of genomic information leads us to correct the annotation of the gene...

Description
Summary:We report the nearly complete mitochondrial genome of Rhabdosynochus viridisi – the first for this genus – achieved by combining shotgun sequencing of genomic and cDNA libraries prepared using low-input protocols. This integration of genomic information leads us to correct the annotation of the gene features. The mitochondrial genome consists of 13,863 bp. Annotation resulted in the identification of 12 protein-encoding genes, 22 tRNA genes and two rRNA genes. Three non-coding regions, delimited by three tRNAs, were found between the genes nad5 and cox3. A phylogenetic analysis grouped R. viridisi with three other species of diplectanid monogeneans for which mitochondrial genomes are available.
