The complete mitochondrial genome of Hemitripterus villosus (Pallas, 1814) from Zhoushan archipelago.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we used whole genome sequencing to obtain the complete mitochondrial genome of Hemitripterus villosus. This mitochondrial genome, consisting of 17,449 base pairs (bp), contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs and 2 noncoding control regions (control region and origin of light-strand replication) as those found in other vertebrates. Control region, of 1799 bp in length, is located between tRNA^Pro and tRNA^Phe. We identified short tandem repeat sequences in the control region, which contributed largely to the relatively long mitogenome. The complete mitogenome data provides useful genetic markers for the studies on the molecular identification, phylogenetic analysis and conservation genetics.
