Complete mitochondrial genome of the miiuy croaker Miichthys miiuy (Perciformes, Sciaenidae) with phylogenetic consideration

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

“…1) was similar to earlier described patterns for other vertebrates. All genes were similar in length to those found in other Percoidei fishes (Miya et al, 2003;Oh et al, 2007;Cui et al, 2009;Cheng et al, 2010;Oh et al, 2010;Cheng et al, 2011b). A total of 7 overlapping regions among the genes were detected in C. niveatus mitogenome, resulting in a compact mitogenomic structure.…”

“…As in all other mitogenomes described so far, two rRNA genes were identified in C. niveatus, a small (12S) subunit of rRNA comprising 947 bp long and a large (16S) subunit of 1698 bp. The sizes of the rRNA genes were similar to their counterparts in other Pseudosciaeniae mitogenomes (Cui et al, 2009;Cheng et al, 2010;Cheng et al, 2011a).…”

“…Species and amino acid similarity (%) (Cui et al, 2009;Cheng et al, 2010;Cheng et al, 2011a). The length variation of mitogenomes in these species is predominately due to the number and size of non-coding regions.…”

“…Nevertheless, phylogenetic analyses of 10 Sciaenidae fishes using partial 16S rRNA sequences conducted by Tong et al (2007) recovered a non-monophyletic Larimichthys. Furthermore, Chen (2007) suggested a non-monophyletic Collichthys and proposed Collichthys and Larimichthys to be merged into one genus, a finding subsequently supported by Cheng et al (2010Cheng et al ( , 2011b and Xu et al (2011). Liu et al (2010) further presented phylogenetic analyses of 30 Sciaenidae fishes using partial mitochondrial COI sequences.…”

Genetic diversity of Setipinna taty (Engraulidae) populations from the China Sea based on mitochondrial DNA control region sequences

“…The results showed that the G bases were relatively low. The A + T content was higher than the G + C content among the sequences examined, which was consistent with previous findings that the control region is an A + T-rich region of the mitochondrial genome (Brown et al, 1986;Saccone et al, 1987, Cheng et al, 2010. For the five populations, the average transition/transversion ratio was 2.456, which suggested that the transition was higher than transversion, which is consistent with conclusions of other authors (Liu HY et al, 2004;Yang et al, 2008;Peng et al, 2010).…”
