The complete mitochondrial genome of Mystus rhegma (Teleostei: Siluriformes) and its phylogenetic position

Abstract

Here, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of a bagrid catfish, Mystus rhegma. The whole mitogenome of M. rhegma was a circular molecule with 16,525 nucleotides, composed of 22 tRNA, 2 rRNA, 13 protein-coding genes, and a non-coding control region. The contents of A, T, C, and G are 30.89%, 26.00%, 27.43%, and 15.68%, respectively. In terms of AT and CG contents, the content of AT is obviously higher than that of CG, 56.89% and 43.11%, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis reveals that M. rhegma has a close relationship with M. mysticetus.
