title: The complete mitochondrial genome of Solen strictus (Bivalvia: Solenidae).
abstract: In this paper, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Solen strictus (Bivalvia: Solenidae). The whole mitogenome of S. strictus is 16,535 bp in length with a base composition of 21.7% A, 41.0% T, 25.6% C, and 11.7% G and contains 12 protein-coding genes (atp8 is missing), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a major non-coding region (MNR). Some peculiar patterns including tandem repeats and microsatellite-like elements are found in the MNR of S. strictus.
