Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Bothrocara hollandi (Perciformes: Zoarcidae)

The full mitogenome of Bothrocara hollandi was determined by high-throughput sequencing (HTS) platform. The genome was 16,732 bp in length, which included 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, two ribosomal RNAs (12S and 16S), and a control region (D-Loop). The overall composition of G + C in the mitogenome was 45.90%, which was lower than A + T contents (54.10%). Except for COX1 (GTG), the other twelve protein-coding genes begin with typical start codon, ATG. The incomplete stop codon (TA − or T–) was identified in five genes, including COXI, COXII, COXIII, ND3, and ND4. The phylogenetic analysi... Mehr ...
