title: The complete F-type mitochondrial genome of Chinese Anodonta arcaeformis (Bivalvia: Unionidae: Anodontinae).
abstract: Anodonta arcaeformis is a Chinese common species. The complete F-type mitochondrial genome was first determined. The complete genome is 15,672 bp in length, with AT content 64.59%. All the 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes were identified, including 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and 2 rRNA genes. And a novel FORF (277 bp, 92aa) was found between tRNA(Glu) and ND2, which was considered to be involved in sex determination. The putative control region (270 bp) is located between ND5 and tRNAGln, with an A + T content of 70.07%. The gene order is identical to other species of Unionidae female mitochondrial except Gonideinae.
