The complete mitochondrial genome of the salmon shark, Lamna ditropis (Chondrichthyes, Lamnidae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the salmon shark consists of 16,699bp and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 1 replication origin region and 1 control region. The mitochondrial gene arrangement of the salmon shark is the same as that of most vertebrates. Base composition of the genome is A (29.6%), T (28.6%), C (27.1%), and G (14.8%).
