Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Ganges river dolphin, Platanista gangetica (Roxburgh, 1801) from the river Halda of Bangladesh

Fresh sample of skin, liver and muscle tissues were collected from an adult male Platanista gangetica which was found dead from Akbaria point of Halda River under Hathazari upazila (Longitude / Latitude- 22.446661N, 91.861295E) on Thursday, December 5, 2019. Then, transported to the laboratory to preserve at -70° C for further analysis during the period of December 2019. The blood tissue was dissected and stored with 95% ethanol. Later a high molecular weight genomic DNAs was isolated and purified using the AddPrep Genomic DNA extraction kit (AddBio, Korea) for future evaluation of the quality and quantity of the DNA. Purified DNA was sent for library preparation and been sequenced through commercial suppliers.Bio Sample Attributessample name: HRRL_PG_MT_001 organism:Adult male Platanista gangetica gangeticaisolate: HRRL_PG_MT_001 species collection date: 05/12/19DNA collection date: 05/05/2020broad-scale environmental context: N/Alocal-scale environmental context: N/Aenvironment medium: N/Ageographic location: Bangladesh: Chattogramisolation source: Akbaria, Madarsha, Halda River, Hathazari, Chattogram, BangladeshLongitude latitude: 22.44 N 91.86 EStrain: N/ASequencing Platform: Illumina instrumental model: NovaSeq 6000
