title: The complete mitochondrial genome of Scapharca kagoshimensis (Bivalvia: Arcidae).
abstract: In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome of Scapharca kagoshimensis (Bivalvia: Arcidae) was determined. It is 46,713 in length, which contains 12 protein-coding genes (lacking of atp8), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 42 transfer RNA genes and two ultra-long non-coding regions. The mitogenome of S. kagoshimensis is composed of 28.3% A, 34.5% T, 20.6% G and 16.6% C, showing a slight AT bias of 62.8. In addition, some peculiar patterns, like AT-rich, tandem repeats elements, are found in the largest non-coding region of S. kagoshimensis.
