Complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Leucopsarion petersii</i> (Gobiiformes, Gobiidae) assembled from next-generation sequencing data.

ABSTRACT: We report the complete mitochondrial genome of Leucopsarion petersii from specimens collected in Geoje City, South Korea. Using next-generation sequencing, we determined the mitochondrial genome is a circular DNA molecule of 16,525 bp, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis using 12 mitochondrial genomes showed this species clustered with other Gobiiformes, providing first insights into phylogenetic relationships within this order.
