The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Gyrodactylus kobayashii</i> (Platyhelminthes: Monogenea)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Gyrodactylus kobayashii</i> was 14 786 bp in length, containing 12 protein-coding genes (lacking <i>Atp8</i>), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and two major non-coding regions (NC1 and NC2). The overall A + T content of mitochondrial genome was 71.6%. A close relationship between <i>G. kobayashii</i> and the three <i>Gyrodactylus</i> species (<i>G. salaris</i>, <i>G. thymalli</i> and <i>G. derjavinoides</i>) was uncovered in the phylogenetic tree based on amino acid sequences.
