The mitogenome of the amphipod Hyalella lucifugax (Crustacea) and its phylogenetic placement. Issue 1 (1st January 2016) - Juan, Carlos
Abstract: The mitogenome of Hyalella lucifugax from Lake Titicaca, obtained using Illumina NGS technology, is described. The mitogenome attains 14, 994 bp (although the control region could not be completed) and comprises the standard set of 2 rRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, and 22 tRNA genes, plus two non-coding regions. A phylogenetic analysis based on the protein-coding mitochondrial genes from representatives from all amphipod genera with available sequences in GenBank recovers the monophyly of H. lucifugax with the superfamily Talitroidea.
