The complete mitochondrial genome of a fouling mussel, Xenostrobus atratus (Mollusca: Mytilidae), and its phylogenetic implication [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2023
In this study, we report the female-lineage mitochondrial genome of Xenostrobus atratus for the first time. The circular mitochondrial genome is 14,806 bp in length and contains 12 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes.
