The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of <i>Squalus cubensis</i> and Comparative Mitogenomics and Phylomitogenomics of the Family Squalidae.

ABSTRACT: The Cuban dogfish, Squalus cubensis, is a benthic shark with a discontinuous distribution in the Western Atlantic Ocean, from North Carolina, USA, to San Matias Gulf, Argentina, and is caught in both commercial and recreational fisheries across its range. Squalus cubensis is listed as "Least Concern" by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. This study generated the first genomic resource for Squalus cubensis; we assembled and characterized its mitochondrial genome in detail. The AT-rich mitochondrial genome of Squalus cubensis is 16,753 base pairs long and contains 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and one noncoding control region.
