The complete mitochondrial genome of red rainbowfish ( Glossolepis incises Weber 1907)

Abstract

In this study, the mitochondrial genome of Glossolepis incisus (Weber 1907 ) (Atheriniformes: Melanotaeniidae) was sequenced for the first time. The assembled mitogenome consisting of 16 529 bp, includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs genes and 1 putative control region. The overall base composition of G. incisus is 27.51% for A, 30.04% for C, 16.06% for G, 26.39% for T and showS 91% identities to Lake Kutubu Rainbowfish, Melanotaenia lacustris. These data will provide useful molecular information for phylogenetic relationships within the family Melanotaeniidae species.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Western rainbowfish (Melanotaenia australis Castelnau, 1875)

“… 2003 ; Zhao et al. 2015a , b ), and shows 92% identities to Lake Kutubu Rainbowfish, M. lacustris ( Figure 1 ). We expect that the present result would elucidate the further phylogenetic approach among different species of rainbowfishes.…”

The complete mitochondrial genome of Neon rainbowfish (Melanotaenia praecox Weber & de Beaufort, 1922)

“… 2003 ; Zhao et al. 2015a , b ), and shows 89% identities to Lake Kutubu Rainbowfish, M. lacustris ( Figure 1 ). We expect that the present result would elucidate the further phylogenetic approach among different species of rainbowfishes.…”
