The complete mitochondrial genome of the pentastomid Armillifer grandis (Pentastomida) from the Democratic Republic of Congo

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the pentastomid Armillifergrandis (Pentastomida) from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2:1, 287-288,

The complete mitochondrial genome of the pentastomid Linguatula arctica (Pentastomida) from reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) in Northern Norway

“…As described for other related pentastomid mitogenomes (Grau et al. 2017 ; Naude et al. 2018 ), the mitochondrial genome of L. arctica contained an A + T bias with an overall base composition of 32.6% A, 27.5% T, 32.8% C, and 7.1% G. The gene arrangement of the present mitogenome is identical to those of other pentastomids (Lavrov et al.…”

“…The complete mitochondrial transcript of L. arctica was 14,789 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 22 transfer RNA genes. As described for other related pentastomid mitogenomes (Grau et al 2017;Naude et al 2018), the mitochondrial genome of L. arctica contained an A þ T bias with an overall base composition of 32.6% A, 27.5% T, 32.8% C, and 7.1% G. The gene arrangement of the present mitogenome is identical to those of other pentastomids (Lavrov et al 2004;Li et al 2016;Grau et al 2017;Naude et al 2018).…”
