Comparative studies of the complete mitochondrial genomes of four Paphia clams and reconsideration of subgenus Neotapes (Bivalvia: Veneridae).

Abstract excerpt

The extreme variability of the mitochondrial (mito) genomes of bivalves makes it difficult to understand their evolutionary dynamics, given that species from different families do not share comparable features. We compared the mitogenomes from four Paphia clams (three of them were firstly sequenced) and found that mitogenome reorganization among the four congeneric species is not random but follows phylogenetic...
