Mitochondrial DNA B Resour. 2022 Nov 23;7(11):2012-2014. doi: 10.1080/23802359.2022.2148490. eCollection 2022.

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Chaetodon modestus (Temminck and Schlegel, 1844) was first determined in this study, which is 16,490 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA. Out of 37 mitochondrial genes, except for ND6 and eight tRNA (Pro, Glu, Ser, Tyr, Cys, Asn, Ala, Gln) genes were encoded on the L-strand, the others were encoded on the H-strand. The overall base composition includes A (28.0%), T (28.7%), G (16.7%), ad C (26.6%). The phylogenetic tree was built using the maximum-likelihood approach to provide a relationship within Chaetodontidae, which might be valuable for species management.
