Mitochondrial DNA of nematodes undergoes frequent rearrangements, so it is a very good model for studying the mitochondrial genome evolution. The complete mitochondrial genome of a parasitic nematode was sequenced and annotated. The 13,816 bp-long genome contained 12 protein-coding genes ( gene was missing), two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a 391 bp non-coding region. Phylogenetic analysis showed that forms a monophyletic cluster with the remaining two Bothriocephalidae species.
线虫的线粒体DNA会频繁重排,因此它是研究线粒体基因组进化的一个非常好的模型。对一种寄生线虫的完整线粒体基因组进行了测序和注释。这个长度为13,816 bp的基因组包含12个蛋白质编码基因(缺少一个基因)、两个核糖体RNA、22个转运RNA和一个391 bp的非编码区。系统发育分析表明, 与另外两种裂头绦虫科物种形成一个单系类群。
