Complete mitochondrial genome sequencing and preliminary phylogenetic analysis of Chromis notata.

ABSTRACT: Chromis notata (Temminck and Schlegel, 1843), commonly known as the pearl-spot chromis, is a damselfish that inhabits the northwestern region of the Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea. Interestingly, C. notata has been found to have morphological variations depending on the geographical area of collection. However, because there are insufficient molecular studies on C. notata, in this study, we determined its complete mitochondrial genome using PCR and phylogenetic analyses. The mitochondrial genome of C. notata was found to be 16,600 bp long, which consisted of 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, and 1 control region (D-loop). The base composition was 27.6% A, 24.8% T, 31.0% C, and 16.6% G. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed with the neighbor
