Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Hypostomus francisci (Siluriformes: Loricariidae)

Abstract

Evanguedes Kalapothakis (2019) Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Hypostomusfrancisci (Siluriformes: Loricariidae), Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 4:1, 155-157, ABSTRACTHypostomus francisci, commonly known as "cascudo", is a fish of ecological importance found in the upper São Francisco River, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Here we present the complete mitogenome (mtDNA) of H. francisci. The whole molecule is 16,541 bp long and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and one control region (D-loop). All the PCGs in the H. francisci mtDNA use the standard ATG start codon, except for Cox1, which utilizes GTG. Seven of the 13 PCGs contain TAA stop codons, three contain a TAG, and three contain the incomplete stop codons TA À or TÀ. ARTICLE HISTORY

Comparative analysis of the mitogenomes of two Corydoras (Siluriformes, Loricarioidei) with nine known Corydoras, and a phylogenetic analysis of Loricarioidei

“…The 13 PCGs of the two new mitogenomes and those of the previously published nine mitogenomes of Corydoras contained COI-COIII, ND1-ND6, ND4L, two AT-Pases, and one Cyt-b, similar to that in other Siluriformes (Nakatani et al 2011;Liu et al 2016;Moreira et al 2016b;Resende et al 2016;Magalhães et al 2017;Parente et al 2017;Moreira 2018;Parente et al 2018;Pereira et al 2019;Ren et al 2019;Rocha-Reis et al 2020;Meng et al 2021;Zhang et al 2021). The total lengths of PCGs in the eleven mitogenomes of Corydoras were 11,400-11,414 bp, accounting for 67.84-69.24% of the entire mitogenome.…”
