Complete mitochondrial genome and the phylogenetic position of the thornback cowfish (Lactoria fornasini)

The complete mitochondrial genome of the box-like thornback cowfish (Lactoria fornasini) was first determined in this study. It was a circular molecule of ∼1.6 kb, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and an AT-rich control region. Of the 37 genes, 28 were...

description The complete mitochondrial genome of the box-like thornback cowfish (Lactoria fornasini) was first determined in this study. It was a circular molecule of ∼1.6 kb, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and an AT-rich control region. Of the 37 genes, 28 were encoded by the heavy strand, while the rest were encoded by the light strand. The genome composition with A + T bias (56.22%) and gene arrangement were almost identical with those observed in most vertebrates. The 22 tRNA genes ranged from 66 bp (tRNA-Cys) to 75 bp (tRNA-Lys). The phylogenetic result showed that L. fornasini was clustered with L. diaphana.
