The complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid sturgeon of Huso dauricus (♀) × Acipenser schrenckii (♂)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the hybrid of Huso dauricus (♀) × Acipenser schrenckii (♂) is described in this study. The 16,693bp long circular molecule consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a control region, showed a typical vertebrate pattern. All genes were encoded on the heavy strain except for ND6 and eight tRNA genes. Base composition of the heavy strain was A(30.40%), T(24.19%), C(29.26%), G(16.16%), and with A + T bias of 54.59%. Comparing with the complete mitochondrial genome of its parents, the hybrid sturgeon of Huso dauricus (♀) × Acipenser schrenckii (♂) was consistent with a maternal inheritance. The complete mitogenome of the hybrid sturgeon of Huso dauricus (♀) × Acipenser schrenckii (♂) provides an important dataset for the exploration of mitochondrial inheritance mechanism.
