In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of , an endangered Hawaiian tree snail. The mitogenome is 16 323 bp in length and has a base composition of A (34.7%), T (42.6%), C (12.7%) and G (10.0%). Similar to other Pulmonates, it contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes. To our knowledge, this is the first mitochondrial genome sequenced within the Achatinelloidea superfamily, which contains a high number of endangered species. As such, this mitogenome will be useful in conservation genetics studies.
在本研究中,我们报告了濒危的夏威夷树蜗牛的完整线粒体基因组序列。该线粒体基因组长度为16323 bp,碱基组成为A(34.7%)、T(42.6%)、C(12.7%)和G(10.0%)。与其他肺螺亚纲动物相似,它包含13个蛋白质编码基因、2个rRNA基因和22个tRNA基因。据我们所知,这是在包含大量濒危物种的玛瑙螺超科内首次测序的线粒体基因组。因此,该线粒体基因组将有助于保护遗传学研究。
