Complete mitogenome of the giant invasive hammerhead flatworm Bipalium kewense
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 We determined the sequence of the complete mitogenome of Bipalium kewense, an invasive land flatworm with worldwide distribution. All 37 genes encoded on this 15,666-bp genome reside on the same DNA strand. Phylogenomic analyses of mitochondrial proteins
