Complete mitogenome of Cerithidea obtusa, the red chut-chut snail from the Cần Giờ Mangrove in Vietnam

Abstract

We sequenced the complete mitogenome of the red chut-chut snail Cerithidea obtusa, from the Cần Giờ mangrove in Vietnam. The mitogenome is 15,708 bp long. It is colinear with the mitogenomes of other members of the superfamily Cerithioidea, and the maximum-likelihood phylogeny obtained with the cox1, cox2 and cox3 genes of several Caenogastropoda associated all Cerithioidea together inside a strongly supported clade.
