The complete mitochondrial genome of Mystus rhegma (Teleostei: Siluriformes) and its phylogenetic position

Abstract

Here, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of a bagrid catfish, Mystus rhegma. The whole mitogenome of M. rhegma was a circular molecule with 16,525 nucleotides, composed of 22 tRNA, 2 rRNA, 13 protein-coding genes, and a non-coding control region. The contents of A, T, C, and G are 30.89%, 26.00%, 27.43%, and 15.68%, respectively. In terms of AT and CG contents, the content of AT is obviously higher than that of CG, 56.89% and 43.11%, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis reveals that M. rhegma has a close relationship with M. mysticetus.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Mystus gulio Hamilton (Siluriformes: Bagridae) and its phylogenetic implication

“…The newly reported mitochondrial genome is similar in gene content and order to those of other Mystus species (Duan et al. 2019 ). In addition, the new genomic data revealed phylogenetic relationships between M. gulio and related species in Bagridae.…”
