The complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of the deep-sea limpet Bathyacmaea lactea

摘要

The deep-sea limpet Bathyacmaea lactea , inhibited in cold seeps of the South China Sea, belongs to the most primitive gastropod groups, the Patellogastropoda (true limpets). Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of B. lactea , which is 18,446?bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, and 22 tRNA genes. The mitochondrial genome of B. lactea enriches the molecular resources for further understanding deep-sea molluskan adaptation and Gastropoda evolution.
