Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Ostorhinchus novemfasciatus and phylogenetic studies of Apogoninae.

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of Ostorhinchus novemfasciatus was first presented in this study. The full length of the mitochondrial genome was 16,779 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNA genes, a non-coding control region (CR) and one origin of replication on the light-strand (OL). The total nucleotide composition of mitochondrial DNA was 26.0% A, 30.2% C, 26.2% T and 17.5% G. 12 PCGs used the canonical ATG as their initiation codon, whereas COI gene started with an alternative start codon GTG. The mitochondrial genome of O. novemfasciatus described in this study could be a useful basis for the management of this species and laid a foundation for further research involved with phylogenetic relationship within Apogoninae
