The complete mitogenome of clam Corbicula fluminea determined usingnext-generation and PacBio sequencing

Abstract

Corbicula fluminea is an important aquatic commercial species in China. In this study, we present the complete mitogenome and a phylogenetic analysis of C. fluminea, determined using next-generation and PacBio long read sequencing. The mitogenome of C. fluminea is 17,423 bp in size, including 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a putative control region, all located on the same strand. The base composition of the entire mitogenome showed a conspicuous A + T bias of 70.5 %. The entire mitogenome data produced in this study provides the genomic resources available for future evolutionary studies.
