Mitochondrial genome of Neilupotamon papileonaceum, with its phylogenetic analysis

Abstract

The mitochondrial genome of one potamidae species Neilupotamon papileonaceum was sequenced and annotated. The mitogenome is 16,273 bp in length, containing 37 typical genes. The A + T content of the whole mitogenome is 68.9%. Most of the PCGs started with ATG and stopped with TAT, except for ATP8 and ND6 stopped with TGA, COX1, COX2, ND5, ND4, and ND4L used incomplete T as stop codon. The phylogeny tree is monophyletic among 15 related species. The relationships of N. papileonaceum, Sinopotamon yaanense, and Longpotamon yangtsekiense were closer than others. This study further enriched mitogenome database of the tribe Typhlocybini.
