Gene maps of the M and F mitochondrial genomes of Venustaconcha ellipsiformis, Pyganodon grandis, Inversidens japanensis and Quadrula quadrula. Protein and rRNA genes are named as in the text while tRNA genes are abbreviated by the one-letter code of the corresponding amino acid (L1 = trnL (cua), L2 = trnL (uaa), S1 = trnS (aga), and S2 = trnS (uaa)). Genes positioned inside the plain line are encoded on the heavy strand and genes outside the line are encoded on the light strand. Atp8* (= genomes lacking full size atp8 gene). Black arrows on the V. ellipsiformis M genome indicate regions that differ between male- and female-transmitted genomes and the arrow on the I. japanensis F genome indicates the region with a gene order distinct from that of the other figured F genomes. The circular gene maps of the genomes were drawn by GenomeVx [113] followed by manual modification.
