The mitochondrial genome of the land snailCamaenella platyodon(Pfeiffer, 1846) (Stylommatophora, Camaenidae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Chinese endemic snail Camaenella platyodon (Pfeiffer, 1846) has been sequenced and annotated in this study. The entire circular genome is 13,985 bp in size and represents the third camaenid mt genome, with 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes. All of genes are divided into two groups, including 24 genes on the majority coding strand (J strand) and others on the minority coding strand (N strand). Phylogenetic analysis of 13 protein-coding genes suggests that C. platyodon is closely related to the species in family Camaenidae.

“…Sequence alignments were generated using ClustalW implemented in MEGA6 (Tamura et al 2013). A total of 35 sequences were used in this study, 23 sequences of which were newly generated and deposited in GenBank (Table 2), and the remainder referenced in Wu et al (2008), Ding et al (2016), Ai et al (2016), and Hu et al (2019). Pairwise p-distances between taxa were calculated using MEGA6 (Tamura et al 2013) and were compared with the currently known intra and inter-specific differentiation values (p-distances) of Camaenidae (Criscione and Köhler 2014;Ai et al 2016;Ding et al 2016).…”
