The complete mitochondrial genome of Platycephalus sp.1 (Teleostei, Platycephalidae) obtained by whole genome sequencing.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we used next-generation sequencing to obtain the complete mitochondrial genome of Platycephalus sp.1. This mitochondrial genome, consisting of 16,552 base pairs (bp), contains 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and two non-coding control regions (control region and origin of light-strand replication) as those found in other vertebrates. Control region, of 877 bp in length, is located between tRNA^Pro and tRNA^Phe. Within the control region, typical conserved domains, such as the termination-associated sequence, central and conserved sequence blocks domains were identified. The overall base composition shows 25.83% of T, 29.98% of C, 27.01% of A, and 17.18% of G, with a slight A + T rich feature (52.84%). The complete mitogenome data provides useful genetic markers for the studies on the molecular identification, population genetics, phylogenetic analysis and conservation genetics.
