Mitochondrial gene order of Myzostoma seymourcollegiorum compared with annelids. Protein-coding genes and ribosomal RNA genes were identified by blasting on the NCBI Entrez databases. Transfer RNA genes were identified by their potential secondary structures using the tRNAscan-SE Search Server (Lowe and Eddy 1997). Identical patterns between taxa are highlighted. Abbreviations are as follow: ATP synthase subunits (atp6, atp8) cytochrome c oxidase subunits (cox1-cox3), apocytochrome b (cob), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ubiquinone oxireductase subunits (nad1-nad6), small and large ribosomal subunit (rrnS, rrnL). Transfer RNA genes are denominated by the corresponding amino acid (one letter code).
