The phylogenetic placement ofSiniperca obscurabase on complete mitochondrial DNA sequence

Abstract

The extant freshwater sinipercids represent a group of 12 species and they are endemic to East Asia. In this study, we cloned and sequenced the complete mitochondrial DNA of Siniperca obscura from the Lijiang River. The size of the complete mitochondrial genome is 16,492 bp. The organization of the mitochondrial contained 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA and 22 transfer RNAs) and a major non-coding control region as well as those reported sinipercid fishes. Among the 13 protein-coding genes, three reading-frame overlaps were found: ATP8 and ATP6 overlap by 10 nucleotides and ND4 and ND4L overlap by 7 nucleotides and ND5 and ND6 overlap by 5 nucleotides. Phylogenetic analyses using N-J and maximum parsimony (MP) computational algorithms showed that S. chuatsi and S. kneri are sister species, next joined by S. Obscura, based on combined 12 protein-coding genes (excluding DN6).

High-Quality Genome Assembly and Annotation of the Big-Eye Mandarin Fish (Siniperca knerii)

“…Siniperca knerii is also an economically important species to fisheries and aquaculture in southern China (Luo et al 2011). A few studies have employed microsatellite markers, mitochondrial genomes or exon-capture data to study population genetics or to infer the phylogenetic position of S. knerii (Chen et al 2014;Song et al 2017;Tian et al 2017), but no genome sequence is available for it or for any species of the Sinipercidae. Determining the genome sequence of S. knerii would provide a fundamental dataset for better examining its genetic variation and population history.…”

Complete mitochondrial genome of the endemic species Korean aucha perch Coreoperca herzi (Teleostei, Centrarchiformes, Sinipercidae)

“…We refered previous mitogenome paper about Centrarchiformes (Broughton & Reneau, 2006;Chen et al, 2012Chen et al, , 2013Gan et al, 2014;Lavoué et al, 2014;Li et al, 2012Li et al, , 2013Liu et al, 2015;Lv et al, 2014;Miya et al, 2001Miya et al, , 2013Mukai & Sato, 2009;Oh et al, 2007;Prosdocimi et al, 2012;Setiamarga et al, 2008;Yagishita et al, 2009;Yamanoue et al, 2007). Phylogenetic analysis based on the mitogenome sequences using the neighbor-joining method showed that the C. herzi was closely related to C. kawamebari (Figure 1).…”
