Abstract
This study records, revalidates and describes Ballistura fitchioides Denis 1947 from the Nilgiris, Western Ghats, India. This species is part of the B. fitchi species group, distinguished by a reduced number of chaetae on the anterior and posterior sides of the dens. The study also reports a 13,492-bp-long mitochondrial genome, which contains 33 genes, including 12 protein-coding genes and the remaining 19 tRNA and two rRNA genes. The complete mitogenome data of B. fitchioides serves as a draft genome for understanding the genetic relationships among species in the genera.
期刊介绍:
Current Genetics publishes genetic, genomic, molecular and systems-level analysis of eukaryotic and prokaryotic microorganisms and cell organelles. All articles are peer-reviewed. The journal welcomes submissions employing any type of research approach, be it analytical (aiming at a better understanding), applied (aiming at practical applications), synthetic or theoretical.
Current Genetics no longer accepts manuscripts describing the genome sequence of mitochondria/chloroplast of a small number of species. Manuscripts covering sequence comparisons and analyses that include a large number of species will still be considered.
