The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Gerres filamentosus (Perciformes: Gerridae).

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of Gerres filamentosus was sequenced by high throughput sequencing method. Length of this genome is 16,795 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and one large non-coding region. ND6 and eight tRNA genes are encoded by L-strand, and others are encoded by H-strand, which is similar to those in most vertebrates. Phylogenetic tree based on 13 protein-coding genes shows that the clade of G. filamentosus is closely clustered with that of Gerres oyena, and families Caproidae and Ephippidae have the closest relationship to Gerridae, comparing with Sillaginidae.
