The complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of Hiatella sp. J (Mollusca: Hiatellidae).

ABSTRACT: The genus Hiatella is one of most abundant and widespread marine bivalves. To date, its intra-generic phylogeny remains disputed and mitogenome information is therefore much needed. Here, we first report the complete circular mitogenome of Hiatella sp. J that is distributed in the coast of Asia Pacific. The total length of this mitochondrial genome is 21,233 base pairs. It consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and a major noncoding region (MNR). Phylogenetic analysis of COI from 25 species (Hiatellidae) revealed that the Hiatella sp. J was closely related to Asian Hiatella in the family Hiatellidae. This Hiatella mitogenome provides new molecular data for the further taxonomic and phylogenetic studies of the genus Hia
