Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic relationship of ornate threadfin bream, Nemipterus hexodon (Perciformes, Nemipteridae).

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of the ornate threadfin bream, Nemipterus hexodon, was first determined by the pairs-walking sequencing in this study. The circular mtDNA molecule was 17,115?bp in size and the overall nucleotide composition of H-stand was A (29.55%), T (27.36%), G (16.08%), and C (27.01%), with a slight bias towards A?+?T. The complete mitogenome encoded 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 2 non-coding regions (an origin of L-strand replication and a control region). The Bayesian tree supported the phylogenetic position of N. hexodon, which provided useful information for phylogenetic relationship in genus Nemipterus.
