Abstract
Dosinia japonica is a marine bivalve mollusk of the family Veneridae, which is distributed in coastal areas of China, Korean peninsula, Japan, and Russia. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the clam D. japonica was determined firstly. It is 17,693 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a major non-coding control region. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that D. japonica was the sister group of Tapetinae clade, which means Dosininae and Tapetinae have a common ancestor. This report provides molecular biology data for the conservation and management of D. japonica in future.
