Complete mitochondrial genomes of the Northern ( Salvelinus malma ) and Southern ( Salvelinus curilus ) Dolly Varden chars (Salmoniformes, Salmonidae)

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Salvelinus malma sp. (Salmoniformes, Salmonidae) with phylogenetic consideration

“…The 13 protein-coding genes totally encoded 3808 amino acids and their base composition was 25.7%, 9.0%, 29.0%, and 16.3% for A, T, C, and G, respectively. The features mentioned above were accordant with typical Salvelinus fish mitogenome (Salmenkova et al 2009;Balakirev et al 2016).…”

First report of the mitochondrial DNA sequences of Chukchi Charr (Salvelinus andriashevi, Salmonidae)

“…The sequences are very similar in size and gene arrangement and composition to the charr genomes published previously (Doiron et al 2002;Balakirev et al 2016). The total length of mtDNA nucleotide sequences was 3362 bp.…”

Complete mitochondrial genome of the white char Salvelinus albus (Salmoniformes, Salmonidae)

“…The comparison of mt genomes now obtained with other complete mt genomes available in GenBank for the family Salmonidae including genera Salvelinus, Parahucho, Salmo, Hucho, and Brachymystax (Figure 1) reveals a close affinity of S. albus to other Salvelinus species with a very low level of sequence divergence (D xy ¼ 0.0020 ± 0.0003) between our specimens SA1 and SA2 and the complete mt genome of the Northern Dolly Varden char S. malma (KJ746618; Balakirev et al, 2014) (Figure 1). The divergence was higher (D xy ¼ 0.0079 ± 0.0006) between S. albus and S. alpinus (AF154851; Doiron et al, 2002), but still too low for considering them as separate species.…”
