Complete mitochondrial genome of the blackspot seabream, Pagellus bogaraveo (Perciformes: Sparidae), with high levels of length heteroplasmy in the WANCY region

Complete mitochondrial genome sequences of the Arctic Ocean codfishes Arctogadus glacialis and Boreogadus saida reveal oriL and tRNA gene duplications

“…glacialis Interestingly, all these mitochondrial gene rearrangements appear closely linked to the origin of replication, and the authors suggest that imprecise biochemical processes during mtDNA replication may contribute to such rearrangements (Mueller and Boore 2005). Recently, a heteroplasmic rearrangement was reported at the same tRNA gene cluster of the Wsh blackspot seabream (Ponce et al 2008). Our Wnding of DNA replication-induced mtDNA rearrangements in B. saida supports this arrangement as a widespread, but sporadic, molecular feature within vertebrates.…”

“…Interestingly, codWshes belonging to the family Macrouridae (the grenadiers) frequently harbor tRNA gene rearrangements at both mitogenomic sites (Satoh et al 2006). A third rearrangement site was recently reported in WANCY tRNA gene cluster of the blackspot seabream, including oriL disruption and heteroplasmic tRNA gene duplications (Ponce et al 2008).…”

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of bighead croaker Collichthys niveatus (Perciformes, Sciaenidae): A mitogenomic perspective on the phylogenetic relationships of Pseudosciaeniae

“…A similar case was described for C. lucidus (Cheng et al, 2011a), and Larimichthys species (Cui et al, 2009). However, all three of these conserved motifs were identified in the central domain of M. miiuy (Cheng et al, 2010) and other Percoidei fishes (Lin et al, 2006;Ponce et al, 2008). As suggested by Cui et al (2009), such variations imply a rapid evolution of the structure in the control region and may throw light on the structure-function relationships of the control region.…”

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Cynoglossus gracilis and a comparative analysis with other Cynoglossinae fishes

“…Gene order in vertebrate mtDNA is thought to be quite conserved, especially in fishes (Clayton, 1992;Manchado et al, 2007). However, an increasing number of gene rearrangements in mtDNA have been identified in many taxa, including reptiles (Mueller and Boore, 2005;Okajima and Kumazawa, 2010), birds (Bensch and Harlid, 2000;Schirtzinger et al, 2012;Verkuil et al, 2010), amphibians (Macey et al, 1997;Sano et al, 2005), and fishes (Gong et al, 2013a;Inoue et al, 2003;Kong et al, 2009;Ki et al, 2008;Mabuchi et al, 2004;Ponce et al, 2008;Shi et al, 2013Shi et al, , 2014aShi et al, , 2015a.…”
