Abstract

Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of the Epitonium scalare has been determined in this study. The complete genome (mtDNA) is 15, 140 base pairs (bp) in length and contained of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. The control region was divided into two parts. The overall base composition of the genome in descending order was 41.1%â€"T, 28.3%â€"A, 19.2%â€"G, and 11.4%â€"C. In 13 protein-coding genes, COX3, atp6, and nad1 start with ATA. For the stop codon, 11 genes with TAA, COX3, and nad3 end with TAG. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that E. scalare is not closely to any other families and separate into a single branch. This study was the first study that determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Epitonidae species. It would be a supplement for the genetic analysis of E. scalare and promote the phylogenetic of Epitonidae.
