Complete mitochondrial genome of the Lampetra japonica.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Lampetra japonica was 16,431 base pairs, it is circular molecule with a typical gene arrangement of vertebrate mitochondrial DNA, it contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 2 repeat regions. The study could be provided insights into the evolution of cyclostome mitochondrial geneomes, particularly in Lampetra family.
