The complete mitochondrial genome of a parasitic flatworm Senga ophiocephalina (Cestoda: Bothriocephalidae).


ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial DNA of nematodes undergoes frequent rearrangements, so it is a very good model for studying the mitochondrial genome evolution. The complete mitochondrial genome of a parasitic nematode Senga ophiocephalina was sequenced and annotated. The 13,816?bp-long genome contained 12 protein-coding genes (atp8 gene was missing), two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a 391?bp non-coding region. Phylogenetic analysis showed that S. ophiocephalina forms a monophyletic cluster with the remaining two Bothriocephalidae species.
