The complete F-type mitochondrial genome of Chinese Anodonta arcaeformis (Bivalvia: Unionidae: Anodontinae)

Abstract

Anodonta arcaeformis is a Chinese common species. The complete F-type mitochondrial genome was first determined. The complete genome is 15,672 bp in length, with AT content 64.59%. All the 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes were identified, including 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and 2 rRNA genes. And a novel FORF (277 bp, 92aa) was found between tRNA^Glu and ND2, which was considered to be involved in sex determination. The putative control region (270 bp) is located between ND5 and tRNAGln, with an A + T content of 70.07%. The gene order is identical to other species of Unionidae female mitochondrial except Gonideinae.
