Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of the giant clam Tridacna derasa was completely sequenced by high-throughput sequencing method. The total length of the complete mitogenome was 20,760bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, 23 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and a non-coding control region. The base composition of the genome is 28.41% A, 36.92% G, 21.94% G and 12.74% C with a total GC content of 34.68%. Phylogenetic tree based on complete mitogenome sequences revealed that T.derasa was closely related to T.squamosa, both belonging to the Tridacna genus.
