title: Complete mitochondrial genome of the brown mussel Perna perna (Bivalve, Mytilidae).
abstract: The complete sequence of the brown mussel Perna perna mitochondrial genome is described in this article. It was sequenced in 1/11 of an Illumina HiSeq lane using Nextera multiplexing kit. The mitogenome was assembled using both (i) de novo assembly and (ii) referenced-based strategies with mitoMaker software. Perna perna mitogenome is a circular molecule of 18,415 bp in size, containing 12 protein-coding genes, 23 transfer RNAs, 2 ribossomal RNAs and several non-coding regions. As shown in the previous studies, Perna perna does not present the doubly uniparental inheritance system (DUI) of mitochondria and does not encode the ATPase8 gene, in accordance with other Mytilidae data.
