The complete mitochondrial genome of Minous monodactylus (Minoinae: Synanceiidae: Scorpaeniformes) and phylogenetic studies of Scorpaeniformes

In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Minous monodactylus was identified and analyzed. Its mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 16,458 bp, which contains 13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) and 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The composition of the whole genome is...

Description
Summary:In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Minous monodactylus was identified and analyzed. Its mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 16,458 bp, which contains 13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) and 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The composition of the whole genome is A: 27.7%, G: 17.3%, C: 27.2%, and T: 27.8%. For start codon, all other protein-coding genes start with ATG except NAD1 and NAD5 (ATA). For stop codon, there are four different stop codons (TAG, TAA, AGA, AGG) corresponding to different protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic analysis of Scorpaeniformes showed that M. monodactylus is closely related to Synanceia verrucose.
