Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of a freshwater planorbid snail, Planorbella duryi (Mollusca, Gastropoda) was recovered from de novo assembly of genomic sequences generated with the Illumina NextSeq500 platform. The P. duryi mitogenome (14,217 base pairs) is AT rich (72.69%) and comprises 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal subunit genes, and 22 transfer RNAs. The gene order is identical to that of Biomphalaria glabrata and other snail species in the family Planorbidae. This is the first full characterization of a mitochondrial genome of the genus Planorbella.
