The complete mitochondrial DNA of the Pacific Geoduck clam (Panopea generosa)

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Pacific Geoduck Panopea generosa (Genbank accession KM580067) is 15,585 bp in size and contains the typical 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 2 ribosomal RNA and 22 transfer RNA) found in metazoan mitogenomes, including the rare ATPase subunit 8 gene (ATP8). All g...

Description
Summary:The complete mitochondrial genome of the Pacific Geoduck Panopea generosa (Genbank accession KM580067) is 15,585 bp in size and contains the typical 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 2 ribosomal RNA and 22 transfer RNA) found in metazoan mitogenomes, including the rare ATPase subunit 8 gene (ATP8). All genes are coded in the same strand but the gene arrangement is novel among heterodont bivalves. The base composition was: A 25.0%, T 38.7%, C 11.2% and G 25.0%. The genome is structurally similar to that of its congener the Cortes Geoduck Panopea globosa.
