Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genomes and phylogenetic analysis of the two Luciogobius species (Perciformes, Gobionellinae) from Korea

The complete mitochondrial genomes of Luciogobius grandis and Luciogobius elongatus (Perciformes, Gobionellinae) living on rocky coasts in South Korea are reported here for the first time. The mitogenomes of L. grandis and L. elongatus have total lengths of 16,477 bp and 16,486 bp, respectively, and...

Description
Summary:The complete mitochondrial genomes of Luciogobius grandis and Luciogobius elongatus (Perciformes, Gobionellinae) living on rocky coasts in South Korea are reported here for the first time. The mitogenomes of L. grandis and L. elongatus have total lengths of 16,477 bp and 16,486 bp, respectively, and include 13 PCGs, small and large rRNAs, a control region, and 22 tRNAs. Most of the genes are encoded on the heavy strand except for nine genes. Compared with other Gobionellinae species, the PCGs of the two Luciogobius species have a conserved gene order. These data provide useful molecular information for phylogenetic studies concerning Luciogobius species and related species.
