The complete mitochondrial genome of the Copadichromis trimaculatus

Abstract

In this study, we firstly reported the complete mitochondrial genome of Copadichromis trimaculatus. The whole mitochondrial genome is 16,581 bp in length, including 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 13 protein-coding genes. Its GC content is 46.00%, similar to Copadichromis virginalis (45.74%). We also analyzed its phylogenic relationship with other 14 related species, which would facilitate our understanding of the phylogenic relationship of Cichlidae mitochondrial genome.
