biostudies-literatureUnknown3(1)Du XThe complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Epinephelus chlorostigma</i> has been determined. It contains a typically conserved structure including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and one control region, and the whole sequence was 16,894?bp in length. The overall base composition is A 28.70%, C 27.99%, G 16.28%, T 27.03%. Except <i>ND6</i> and eight tRNA genes, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand. Phylogenetic tree was constructed based on 12 protein-coding genes sequences of 18 <i>Epinephelus</i> species, four species belong to Cephalopholis as outgroup, the result showed that <i>E. chlorostigma</i> is most closely related to <i>Epinephelus areolatus.</i> We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of <i>E. chlorostigma</i> to enrich the resource of molecular markers for examination of phylogenetic relationships in <i>Epinephelus</i>.Mitochondrial DNA.
