The complete mitochondrial genome of Hyotissasinensis (Bivalvia, Ostreoidea) indicates the genetic diversity within Gryphaeidae.

ABSTRACT: Different from the true oyster (family Ostreidae), the molecular diversity of the gryphaeid oyster (family Gryphaeidae) has never been sufficiently investigated. In the present study, the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Hyotissasinensis was sequenced and compared with those of other ostreoids. The total length of H.sinensis mtDNA is 30,385 bp, encoding 12 protein-coding-genes (PCGs), 26 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The nucleotide composition and codon usage preference of H.sinensis mtDNA is similar to that of H.hyotis within the same genus. On the other hand, the presence of three trnM and three trnL genes of H.sinensis was not detected neither in H.hyotis nor other ostroid species. Another uniqu
