The complete mitochondrial genome of Tachysurus nitidus (Siluriformes: Bagridae) from the Geum river in Korea

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of a bagrid catfish, Tachysurus nitidus was completely analyzed by the primer walking method. It was composed of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region with a total length of 16,537 bp. In the phylogenetic tree, using mitochondrial genome of 13 related sequences revealed that T. nitidus (MW451217) of Korea is clustered with T. nitidus (KC822643) of China. This complete mitochondrial genome provides an important resource for reviewing the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomic status of the bagrid species.
