Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of Liobagrus styani was sequenced by the long and accurate polymerase chain reaction and primer walking sequence method, and each partition was characterized. This genome, with 16,515 bp in length, includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2rRNA genes, and 2 non-coding regions. Genes encoding on the genome are similar among all vertebrates. These genes except ND6 and 8 tRNA genes were encoded on the H-strand. Phylogenetic relationship of this species with other congeners was inferred using Bayesian Inference methods based on the genome. Result is contrast to traditional biogeographic explanation for faunal similarity and highlight the need for a further investigation on the formation of allopatric distribution pattern of the genus Liobagrus in East Asia.

Project description:Complete mitochondrion of Liobagrus geumgangensis
Project description:The south torrent catfish Liobagrus mediadiposalis (Teleostei, Siluriformes, Amblycipitidae) is an endemic species of Korea. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence consisted of 16,534 base pairs (bp) encoding 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and two non-coding regions. The overall base composition of L. mediadiposalis was G + C: 44.8%, A + T: 55.2%, apparently with a slight AT bias. Phylogenetic analysis showed that L. mediadiposalis was closely related to Liobagrus reinii.
