Abstract:
The goeduck clam Panopea abrupta (Myoida: Hiatellidae) is one of the most important freshwater aquaculture species in China. In-spite of its economic importance, however, the genomic information of this species remains unavailable. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of P. abrupta along with annotated and fully characterized mitochondrial genes. The genome was found to be 15,381 bp in length with a total of 38 genes (13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs). The presence of a gene coding for ATPase subunit 8 was also noted. However, as expected in bivalves, the gene arrangements showed variations with that of the related species. This study adds to the repository of available mitogenomes of various Heterodonta and will greatly aid in future phylogenetic studies and species identification.
