Abstract
In this study, we present the first complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the giant clam Lambis chiragra. The total length of the mitogenome is 16,404 bp. It contains the typical mitochondrial genomic structure, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 control region (D-loop). Mitogenome base composition is biased toward A + T content, at 66.4%. A phylogenetic tree based on complete mitogenome sequences revealed that, L.chiragra is the closest extant relative of Conomurex luhuanus.
