Complete mitochondrial genome of broadbanded cardinalfish (Ostorhinchus fasciatus) and phylogenetic analysis
Abstract
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Ostorhinchus fasciatus was first determined and its phylogenetic position was investigated. The mitogenome was 16568 bp long and showed a typical teleost orders, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosome RNA genes (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and a D-loop region. The overall nucleotide composition included A, 25.89%; C, 30.40%; G, 17.46%; and T, 26.26%. Except for nad6 was located on the light strand, the other PCGs were encoded on the heavy strand. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that O. fasciatus shared a close relationship with Sphaeramia orbicularis and Pterapogon kauderni.
