Complete mitochondrial genome of Stichaeus nozawae Jordan & Snyder 1902 (Zoarcales: Stichaeidae)

Abstract

We report on the structure and composition of the first complete mitochondrial genome of Stichaeus nozawae (typical prickleback fish (Zoarcales, Stichaeidae)), obtained by dideoxy (Sanger) sequencing technique. Genome has a classic organization with 13 genes, 2 rRNAs, control region, and 22 tRNAs, including additional tRNAs with atypical codons previously found in many eelpouts. Phylogenetic analysis confirms the species identity of S. nozawae and validate its recent divergence from S. grigorjewi with unusually low interspecific genetic distance. ARTICLE HISTORY

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence and phylogenetic analysis of Anisarchus medius (Reinhardt, 1837)

“…The complete mitogenome of Anisarchus medius is a circular molecule of 16,524 bp in length (GenBank number MN480302) and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes (12S and 16S), and a putative control region. The gene order and organization were consistent with the found in other Stichaeidae fishes (Ayala et al, 2017;Turanov et al 2019). Among these genes, one protein-coding gene ND6 and eight tRNAs genes (-Gln, -Ala, -Asn, -Cys, -Tyr, -Ser, -Glu, and -Pro) were located on the light strand (L-strand), the other genes were located on the heavy strand (H-strand).…”
