The complete mitochondrial genome of Anguilla japonica (Anguilliformes, Anguillidae) collected from Yangtze estuary and the phylogenetic relationship in genus Anguilla

Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016 Nov;27(6):4421-4422. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2015.1089553. Epub 2015 Oct 21.

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Anguilla japonica collected from Yangtze estuary was determined by next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome is a circular molecule 16 715 bp in length, including the typical structure of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. The TAS, central CSB and CSB were detected in the control region. The gene contents of the mitogenome are identical to those observed in most bony fishes. The phylogenetic tree in the genus Anguilla showed that A. japonica clustered in a separate branch.

Keywords: Anguilla; Anguilla japonica; mitochondrial genome; next-generation sequencing; phylogenetic relationship.
