Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Coilia brachygnathus (Clupeiformes, Engraulidae) from Huai River and its phylogenetic position.

ABSTRACT: The complete mitogenome sequence of Coilia brachygnathus (Kreyenberg & Pappenheim, 1908) from Wabu Lake in Huai River Basin was annotated and characterized in this study. This mitochondrial genome is a circular DNA molecule of 16.896 bp in size with 57.52% AT content, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and an AT-rich region (control region) as other bony fishes. There are a total of 10 overlap locations and 15 intergenic spacer regions throughout the mitogenome of C. brachygnathus. All PCGs employed a standard ATG as a start codon, except cytochrome c oxidase 1 (cox1) with GTG. In addition, TAA or TAG was identified as the typical stop codon. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed with the maximum likelihood me
