Abstract

In this study, the whole mitochondrial genome of Silurus grahami was reported to be 16,518 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and one control region. The phylogenetic analysis based on 13 protein-coding genes showed that S. grahami was sister to clade of S. meridionalis and S. lanzhouensis. A total of 81 bases differences were identified in COI barcoding region, which could be used for species identification in catfish.

Keywords: Silurus grahami; mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic analysis.
