Hepatozoon canis, mitochondrial genome sequencing

While analyzing a high throughput (Illumina HiSeq 2500) dataset of DNA from canine blood containing Hepatozoon canis, we were unsuccessful at assembling a complete mitochondrial genome sequence for H. canis. This SRA submission contains 4 assembled fragments (at low coverage) that map to conserved regions of other apicomplexan mitochondrial genomes (including a complete coding sequence of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I [COI]). The purpose of this submission is to provide useful data that might assist others in a similar task. Currently it is not known if H. canis retains a complete mitochondrial genome sequence.
