The complete sequences and gene organisation of the mitochondrial genomes of the heterodont bivalves <it>Acanthocardia tuberculata </it>and <it>Hiatella arctica </it>– and the first record for a putative Atp<it>ase subunit 8 </it>gene in marine bivalves
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Mitochondrial (mt) gene arrangement is highly variable among molluscs and especially among bivalves. Of the 30 complete molluscan mt-genomes published to date, only one is of a heterodont bivalve, although this is the most diverse ta...
