The complete mitochondrial genome (14,864 bp) of was sequenced and characterized. The genome was constituted of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs and a non-coding region (NCR). The content of AT was 72.42% and 84.95% for the whole genome and NCR, respectively. The gene order of was identical to those of typical annelids. The phylogenetic analyses constructed by the combined 13 PCGs showed the present species clustered within the Rhynchobdellida clade. This is the first complete mitochondrial genome from the family Ozobranchidae which will provide useful genetic markers for identification, ecological and evolutionary studies of leeches.
对[物种名称]的完整线粒体基因组(14,864 bp)进行了测序和特征分析。该基因组由13个蛋白质编码基因(PCGs)、2个rRNA、22个tRNA和一个非编码区(NCR)组成。全基因组和NCR的AT含量分别为72.42%和84.95%。[物种名称]的基因顺序与典型环节动物的相同。通过合并13个PCGs构建的系统发育分析表明,该物种聚集在吻蛭目分支内。这是来自金线蛭科的首个完整线粒体基因组,将为水蛭的鉴定、生态和进化研究提供有用的遗传标记。
