The complete mitogenome of the endangered freshwater crayfish Cherax tenuimanus (Smith 1912) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Parastacidae)

摘要

Next-Gen sequencing was used to recover the complete mitochondrial genome of Cherax tenuimanus. The mitogenome consists of 15,797 base pairs (68.14% A + T content) containing 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal subunit genes, 22 transfer RNAs, anda 779 bp non-coding AT-rich region. Mitogenomes have now been recovered for all six species of Cherax native to Western Australia.
