The complete mitochondrial genome of the true limpet Scurria scurra (Lottiidae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the scurrinid limpet Scurria scurra (Lesson 1830) is reported here. This mitogenome is 18,482 bp long and includes two rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, and 24 tRNAs. The genus Scurria is a nascent model group for marine ecological studies. This mitogenome will help to gain a better understanding of the phylogenetic relationships within Patellogastropoda, the most primitive group of extant gastropods.
