Cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene of a squid (Mollusca), Doryteuthis mitochondrial genome was sequenced. Comparison with the nucleotide sequence and the deduced amino acid sequence of other animal mitochondria suggests that the squid mitochondria has a variation in the genetic code; UGA codes for tryptophan, AUA for methionine and AGA/G for serine. This situation is similar to the case of Drosophila or Ascaris mitochondria.
对一种鱿鱼（软体动物）——剑尖枪乌贼的线粒体基因组中的细胞色素氧化酶亚基I基因进行了测序。与其他动物线粒体的核苷酸序列和推导的氨基酸序列进行比较表明，鱿鱼线粒体的遗传密码存在变异；UGA编码色氨酸，AUA编码甲硫氨酸，AGA/G编码丝氨酸。这种情况与果蝇或蛔虫线粒体的情况相似。
