Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016 Jul;27(4):2572-3. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2015.1038809. Epub 2015 May 29.

Abstract

In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome of Chlorophthalmus nigromarginatus has been determined. The mitochondrial genome (17,663 bp) had the canonical mitochondrial gene content and arrangement, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 non-coding regions. The overall base composition of the heavy-strand is 25.66% A, 25.71% T, 17.82% G, and 30.81% C, with an AT content of 51.37%. It shared 86.6% identities with Chlorophthalmus agassizi. The phylogenetic analyses indicated the close relationship between the mitochondrial genome we presented and other species in order Aulopiformes.

Keywords: Aulopiformes; Chlorophthalmus nigromarginatus; mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic analyses.
