Complete sequence and polymorphisms of female Ruditapes philippinarum (Mollusca: Bivalvia) mitochondria genome

Length of the mitogenome was 22 089 bp showing 94.28% of sequence identity with previously reported sequence. Total 707 single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs, were detected and 50 residues were non-synonymous SNPs among the 202 SNPs in protein-coding genes.

Deleted genomic fragments with of 265 bp and 322 bp were observed in non-coding regions, ND2 to ND4L and ND4L to tRNA Ile , respectively. Phylogenic analysis confirmed that used organisms were female R. philippinarum , and the species has closer evolutionary distance with genus Paphia rather than genus Meretrix . Our finding will be help to set an insight for population and evolutionary genomics of Veneroida clams as well as application to marine industry.
