The first mitochondrial genome of Codonobdella sp. (Hirudinea, piscicolidae), an endemic leech species from Lake Baikal, Russia and reassembly of the Piscicola geometra data from SRA.

In this study, we assembled a complete mitochondrial genome of Codonobdella sp. sample from Lake Baikal, Russia and reassembled third party raw data of Piscicola geometra. Mitogenomes of both freshwater piscine leeches consist of 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal genes (12S and 16S), 22 transport RNA genes, and one control region. The complete mitogenome of Codonobdella sp. is 14,486 bp long and A + T biased (75.51%). The complete mitogenome of Piscicola geometra is 14,788 bp long and A + T biased (78.27%).

The first mitochondrial genome of the relic Acanthobdella peledina (Annelida, Acanthobdellida).

In this study, we assembled a complete mitochondrial genome of the Acanthobdella peledina sample from the Pitea River, Sweden. Thirty-six genes of the mitogenome sequence were identified, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal genes (12S and 16S), 21 transport RNA genes, and 1 control region. The complete mitogenome is 14,640 bp long and A + T biased (70.59%).
