In the study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of
Artemia persimilis
Piccinelli and Prosdocimi, 1968 for the first time. The mitochondrial genome of
A. persimilis
is 15,436 bp in length, with the typical structure of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) and 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a non-coding control region (CR). Phylogenetic analysis showed that
A. persimilis
was at the basal position among the bisexual
Artemia
species, which revealed that
A. persimilis
is likely to be an ancestral clade. The present study could provide effective resources for population genetics study, as well as germplasm conservation in
Artemia
.
Gymnocypris dobula
, classified into the highly specialized Schizothoracine fish, is endemic to Tibet, China. The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of
G. dobula
was 16,728 base pairs in length and comprised 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes as well as one control region as in a typical vertebrate mitochondrial DNA gene. The ML and BI trees showed that
G. dobula
was most closely related to
Gymnocypris scleracanthus
within the highly specialized group. This mitogenome provides new molecular data for further taxonomic and phylogenetic studies of Schizothoracine fish.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
