Complete sequences of mitochondrial genome of <i>Hypselodoris festiva</i> (A. Adams, 1861) (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Nudibranchia)

Abstract

In this study, complete nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial genome of a nudibranch species, <i>Hypselodoris festiva</i> (A. Adams, 1861) were determined and characterized. The mitogenome size is 14 880 bp. This is the longest among the known nudibranch mitochondrial genomes. Furthermore, phylogenetic relationship of <i>H. festiva</i> in the Nudibranchia reconstructed due to amino acid sequences of mitochondrial protein coding genes. This is the sixth record for complete mitochondrial genome of the Nudibranchia.
