Complete mitochondrial genome of the lemon damsel, Pomacentrus moluccensis (Perciformes, Pomacentridae).

ABSTRACT: Pomacentrus moluccensis Bleeker, 1853 (Pomacentridae) is a bright yellow damselfish. Here, we assembled a complete 16,801 bp genome for P. moluccensis mitochondrion by employing the Illumina MiSeq platform. The complete mitochondrial genome contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and one putative control region. The overall genomic structure of P. moluccensis mitochondrion was conserved with the gene arrangements of mitogenomes published in subfamily Pomacentrinae, and phylogenetic analysis confirmed the sister relationship among the genus Amblyglyphidodon, Amphiprion, and Chrysiptera. This complete mitochondrial DNA information of P. moluccensis will provide essential molecular
