Potamiscus motuoensis is the only one freshwater crab species distributed in Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon and its complete mitochondrial genome was obtained for the first time. The complete mitochondrial genome of P. motuoensis is 17,971 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 1 control region. In addition, the mitogenome has 19 noncoding regions ranging from 1 to 1396 bp in length. The report of the mitochondrial genome will enrich the species diversity of Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon and provide data support for further research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
