The first mitochondrial genome of the relic Acanthobdella peledina (Annelida, Acanthobdellida)

Abstract

In this study, we assembled a complete mitochondrial genome of the Acanthobdella peledina sample from the Pitea River, Sweden. Thirty-six genes of the mitogenome sequence were identified, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal genes (12S and 16S), 21 transport RNA genes, and 1 control region. The complete mitogenome is 14,640 bp long and A + T biased (70.59%).
