The complete mitochondrial genome of Inimicus japonicus and its phylogenetic analysis

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from the marine teleost fish Inimicus japonicus. The genome sequence is 16,830 bp in size and has a base composition of A (29.25%), T (29.01%), C (20.7%), and G (21.03%). Moreover, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) encoded 3210 amino acids in total. The phylogenetic analysis showed that I. japonicus belongs to Synancejidae family. The complete mitochondrial genome sequences provided here would be useful for further understanding the evolution and conservation genetics of I. japonicus.
