Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016 Nov;27(6):4584-4585. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2015.1101575. Epub 2015 Nov 5.

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Octopus bimaculatus is 16 085 bp in length and includes 13 protein-codes genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfers RNA genes, and a control region. The composition of genome is A (40.9%), T (34.7%), C (16.9%), and G (7.5%). The control region of O. bimaculatus contains a VNTR locus not present in the genomes from other octopus species. A phylogenetic analysis shows a closer relationship between the mitogenomes from O. bimaculatus and O. vulgaris.

Keywords: Cephalopod; Octopus bimaculatus; mitogenome.
