Complete mitochondrial genome and the phylogenetic position of the stellate puffer (Arothron stellatus)

The complete mitochondrial genome of the stellate puffer (Arothron stellatus) was first determined in this study. It was a 16,475 bp circular molecule and consisted of 37 genes with typical gene order in vertebrate mitogenome. Its nucleotide content was 29.0% A, 32.0% C, 15.9% G and 23.1% T. This mi...

Sumario:The complete mitochondrial genome of the stellate puffer (Arothron stellatus) was first determined in this study. It was a 16,475 bp circular molecule and consisted of 37 genes with typical gene order in vertebrate mitogenome. Its nucleotide content was 29.0% A, 32.0% C, 15.9% G and 23.1% T. This mitogenome had 30 bp short intergenic spaces located in 12 gene junctions and 28 bp overlaps located in 7 gene junctions. In the protein-coding genes, two start codons (GTG and ATG) and two stop codons (TAG and TAA/TA/T) were found. The 22 tRNA genes ranged from 64 bp (tRNA-Cys) to 74 bp (tRNA-Leu1 and tRNA-Lys). The phylogenetic result showed that Takifugu xanthopterus was most closely related to the reef-related A. stellatus among all Tetraodontiformes species.
