Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of brown barracuda, Sphyraena pinguis (Perciformes: Sphyraenidae)

The entire mitochondrial genome sequence of Sphyraena pinguis collected from Korean water was determined by the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. Its total length was 16,620 bps in length, which possessed the canonical 37 genes in the eukaryotes. Unusual start codon was exclusively found...

Description
Summary:The entire mitochondrial genome sequence of Sphyraena pinguis collected from Korean water was determined by the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. Its total length was 16,620 bps in length, which possessed the canonical 37 genes in the eukaryotes. Unusual start codon was exclusively found in COX1(GTG), while incomplete stop codons (TA–/T—) were identified in ATP6, COX2, ND3, ND4, and Cyt b. A phylogenetic analysis with currently identified full mitogenomes in Perciformes, S. pinguis was most closely related to S. barracuda (76.87%) and S. jello (76.84%). This mitogenome sequence would explain the evolution of genus Sphyraena.
