Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016 Nov;27(6):4033-4034. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2014.1003830. Epub 2015 Jan 28.

Abstract

The Neotropical freshwater fish Pseudoplatystoma magdaleniatum is a trans-Andean species that belongs to the family of long-whiskered catfishes (family Pimelodidae). In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of P. magdaleniatum was sequenced using the MiSeq Illumina platform. The complete circular mitogenome is 16,568 bp in length, exhibiting an average GC content of 44.19% and codes for 13 proteins, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 22 transfer RNA genes. Additionally, it exhibits perfect synteny and similar length with the mitogenome of Pimelodus pictus.

Keywords: Freshwater fish; mitogenome; trans-Andean fish.
