Complete mitochondrial genome of the monogonont rotifer Brachionus rotundiformis (Rotifera, Brachionidae)

The two complete mitochondrial genomes were sequenced from the monogonont rotifer Brachionus rotundiformis. The genome sequences were 10,268 bp and 11,703 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical with those of B. koreanus but were different in tRNA-Cys with B. plicatilis mitochondr...

Description
Summary:The two complete mitochondrial genomes were sequenced from the monogonont rotifer Brachionus rotundiformis. The genome sequences were 10,268 bp and 11,703 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical with those of B. koreanus but were different in tRNA-Cys with B. plicatilis mitochondrial genomes. Of the 12 protein-coding genes (PCGs), five genes (ND1, ATP6, ND5, CO3, ND3) had incomplete stop codons. Furthermore, the start codon of ND4 and CO3 gene was ATA, while the start codon of other PCGs was ATG. The base composition of B. rotundiformis mitogenome shows an anti-G bias (12.05% and 10.24%) on the second and third position of the PCGs, respectively.
