Complete Mitochondrial Genome of King Threadfin, <i>Polydactylus macrochir</i> (Gunther, 1867): Genome Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Polydactylus macrochir (Günther; 1867) is a member of the family Polynemidae. The placement of Polynemidae among teleosts has varied over the years.

Methods

Therefore, in this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of P. macrochir, analyzed the characterization of the mitochondrial genome, and investigated the phylogenetic relationships of Polynemidae.

Results

The length of the P. macrochir mitogenome was 16,738 bp, with a typical order. Nucleotide composition analysis showed that the P. macrochir mitogenome was AT-biased (54.15%), and the PCGs tended to use A and C rather than T and G at the third codon. All the PCGs started with the regular codon ATG, except for cox1, which started with GTG. The terminatio
