Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial genome of Rhinogobius wuyiensis Li & Zhong, 2007 (Gobiiformes: Gobiidae: Gobionellinae).

ABSTRACT: The mitochondrial genome of Rhinogobius wuyiensis Li & Zhong, 2007 was initially assembled using sequencing data from the Illumina HiSeq platform (San Diego, CA), resulting in a circular mitogenome of 16,502 base pairs with a pronounced A + T nucleotide bias. Maximum-likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) revealed the phylogenetic relationships within the genus Rhinogobius, indicating that R. wuyiensis is closely related to a clade comprising R. maculagenys, R. shennongensis, R. niger, and R. lentiginis. This study enriches genetic resources and advances the understanding of phylogenetics within the genus Rhinogobius.
