The first representative of Coelomactra antiquata mitochondrial genome from Liaoning (China) and phylogenetic consideration.

ABSTRACT: Coelomactra antiquata is a famous delicacy and a promising new candidate for aquaculture, which belongs to the family Mactridae (Mollusca: Veneroida). The complete mitochondrial genome of C. antiquata (Liao Ning province, in China, LN) was finished, which is the first representative from this province. The results showed that the total length of LN-mtDNA sequence is 16,797 bp and the content of A + T is 65.01%. It encodes 35 genes, including 12 protein-coding genes, 21 transfer RNA genes and two ribosomal RNA genes. All coding genes are encoded on the heavy strand. Compared with the typical gene content of animal mitochondrial genomes, atp8 and trnSer(UCN) genes are missing in the mitochondrial genome. The complete mitochondrial genome contains 26 non-coding reg
