Mitochondrial Genome of Vannella croatica (Amoebozoa, Discosea, Vannellida)

J Eukaryot Microbiol. 2018 Nov;65(6):820-827. doi: 10.1111/jeu.12523. Epub 2018 May 7.

Abstract

Mitochondrial genome sequence of Vannella croatica (Amoebozoa, Discosea, Vannellida) was obtained using pulse-field gel electrophoretic isolation of the circular mitochondrial DNA, followed by the next-generation sequencing. The mitochondrial DNA of this species has the length of 28,933 bp and contains 12 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs, and 16 transfer RNAs. Vannella croatica mitochondrial genome is relatively short compared to other known amoebozoan mitochondrial genomes but is rather gene-rich and contains significant number of open reading frames.

Keywords: Amoebozoa; Gene order; Vannellidae; mitochondrial DNA.
