Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Cephalopholis miniata (Perciformes, Serranidae) and its phylogenetic analysis

Cephalopholis miniata belongs to the family Serranidae of Perciformes, which is one of the most important species in coral-reef ecosystem. In this study, its complete mitochondrial genome is presented. The assembled mitogenome is 16,585 bp and includes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA...

Sumario:Cephalopholis miniata belongs to the family Serranidae of Perciformes, which is one of the most important species in coral-reef ecosystem. In this study, its complete mitochondrial genome is presented. The assembled mitogenome is 16,585 bp and includes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (12S and 16S), and an AT-rich region (also called control region, CR). The overall base composition is 29.2% A, 26.1% T, 16.2% G, and 28.5% C, with an A + T bias of 55.3%. Except ND6 and eight tRNAs, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand. Phylogenetic analysis shows that all species of the genus Cephalopholis cluster into a clade, including the newly sequenced mitogenome of C. miniata.
