Complete Mitochondrial Genome with Phylogenetic Analyses of a New <i>Caenorhabditis</i> Species from Ta Kou Nature Reserve, Vietnam.

ABSTRACT: Caenorhabditis species diversity has been surveyed in several places around the world and tends to be higher in subtropical and tropical regions. Vietnam is a long country with complex topography and a climate largely influenced by the northeast monsoon from the Siberian plateau. Here, we report the first Caenorhabditis survey in Ta Kou Nature Reserve located in south-central Vietnam, where we have found two isolates of a new species, Caenorhabditis sp. 71. Whole genome skimming of one isolate using a combination of the Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION long read and Illumina short read sequencing platforms allowed us to assemble a complete mitochondrial genome that is 13,654 bp in length. Annotation of the mitochondrial genome revealed 12 protein coding genes, 22 tr
