Abstract

The complete mitogenome of the Atlantic spiny lumpsucker (Eumicrotremus spinosus) was generated using the PacBio Sequel II HiFi sequencing platform. The mitogenome assembly has a length of 19,281 bp and contains 13 protein-coding sequences, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, one control region containing the D-loop (2383 bp) and a duplicate control region (1133 bp) Phylogenetic analysis using maximum likelihood revealed that E. spinosus is closely related to the Siberian lumpsucker (E. asperrimus). The mitogenome of the spiny lumpsucker will be useful in population genomics and systematic studies of Cyclopteridae, Liparidae, and Cottidae.

Grants and funding

We thank Nord University for their financial support. Sampling was conducted as part of the Nansen Legacy project [RCN# 272721] funded by the Research Council of Norway (RCN). The sequencing was financed and provided by the Norwegian Sequencing Center (www.sequencing.uio.no), a national technology platform hosted by the University of Oslo which are supported by RCN over the “Functional Genomics” and “Infrastructure” programs and the Southeastern Regional Health Authorities.
