+Mitochondrial genome of Ciona savignyi (Urochordata, Ascidiacea, Enterogona): comparison of gene arrangement and tRNA genes with Halocynthia roretzi mitochondrial genome.

+The DDBJ accession number of complete nucleotide sequence of the Ciona mtDNA is AB079784.

+Trp, and AGA/AGG specify Gly.” “To predict the genetic code used in the Ciona
+mt genome, the well-conserved cox1 sequence was compared between Ciona and
+several other metazoans.” “The Ciona mtDNA is extremely (77.3%) AT-rich.”"]]
