The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Abudefduf Bengalensis (Perciformes; Pomacentridae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of marine fish Abudefduf bengalensis was sequenced by the high throughput sequencing method. The genome of this species is 16,776 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and one large non-coding region. The gene arrangement of A. bengalensis is identical to that of other common fishes. Phylogenetic tree based on 13 protein-coding genes shows that the clade of genus Abudefduf has a closer phylogenetic relationship to the lineage of genus Amphiprion and Premnas biaculeatus than to Labracinus cyclophthalmus.
