Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of the Omphalius rusticus has been determined. The complete genome is 18,067 bp and contained 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes. The overall base composition is 33.48% (A), 33.52% (T), 15.58% (G) and 17.42% (C). The all start codon for 13 protein-coding genes is ATG and the most common termination codon is TAA. The phylogenetic tree showed that O. rusticus is most closely related to the Tectus pyramis. We suggest that this result will further supplement the genome information in mitochondria of the family Tegulidae and facilitate the study on population genetics.
