Figure 1From: The complete sequences and gene organisation of the mitochondrial genomes of the heterodont bivalves Acanthocardia tuberculata and Hiatella arctica – and the first record for a putative Atpase subunit 8 gene in marine bivalvesGene order of Katharina , Acanthocardia , Hiatella and Venerupis. Linearized representation of the mitochondrial gene arrangement in Acanthocardia tuberculata and Hiatella arctica, in comparison with the near-plesiomorphic condition in the polyplacophoran Katharina tunicata and the third heterodont bivalve,Venerupis philipinarium. Genes encoded on the opposite strand are underlined. The bars indicate identical gene junctions.Back to article page
