Particular gene order and complete mitochondrial genome of Parupeneus chrysopleuron (Perciformes, Mullidae)

Abstract

Parupeneus chrysopleuron were under threat of climate change and unregulated fishing. For protecting the fish, complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of P. chrysopleuron was firstly determined. The mitogenome is 17,397 nucleotides, including 38 genes. The gene arrangement of the P. chrysopleuron mitogenome is different from most of bony fishes. Investigating the mitochondrial gene arrangement pattern found that the tRNAIle and tRNAGln, followed by tRNAMe. Observing four notable non-coding regions, a non-coding region of 814 bp was identified as control region based on its location and central conserved sequence blocks (CSB-1 and CSB-2) were recognized.
