The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of white perch Morone americana (Perciformes, Moronidae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the white perch Morone americana is described in this study. The total length of M. americana mitogenome is 17,966 bp, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNA genes and a noncoding control region. As with several other species in Moronidae, the ND6 gene in M. americana is found within the control region rather than at the canonical position between the ND5 and CYTB genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on CYTB gene places M. americana within Moronidae and confirms its close relationship with yellow perch ( M. mississippiensis ). This study provides a basic resource for further research on genetic structure and demographic history of M. americana .

The complete mitochondrial genome of Epinephelus Chlorostigma (Serranidae; Epinephelus) with phylogenetic consideration of Epinephelus

“…The A + T content (56.69%) is higher than G + C content (43.31%), in common with other Perciformes mitogenomes (Bian et al. 2016 ; Chen et al. 2016 ; Ayala et al.…”

“…The overall base composition is A 28.70%, C 27.99%, G 16.28%, T 27.03%. The A þ T content (56.69%) is higher than G þ C content (43.31%), in common with other Perciformes mitogenomes (Bian et al 2016;Chen et al 2016;Ayala et al 2017;Shi et al 2018). Eleven protein-coding genes start with ATG except COX1 with GTG and ATP6 with ATA.…”

The complete mitochondrial genome of Thryssa vitrirostris (Engraulinae, Engranlidae, Clupeoidei) and phylogenetic studies of Clupeoidei

“…The T. vitrirostris mitogenome contained a small subunit rRNA (12S rRNA, located between tRNA Phe and tRNA Val genes) and a large subunit rRNA (16S rRNA, located between tRNA Val and tRNA Leu genes), which were 955 and 1689 bp in length, respectively. The OL (origin of L-strand replication) is located between tRNA Asn and tRNA Cys , the same with other vertebrate (Bian et al 2016;Guo et al 2016;, and is 20 bp in length. The control region (D-Loop) was 1327 bp in length, localized between tRNA Pro and RNA Phe genes.…”
