The complete mitochondrial genome of Electrona carlsbergi (Myctophiformes, Myctophidae) with phylogenetic consideration

The complete mitochondrial genome of Electrona carlsbergi was obtained, which was 18,282 bp in size and including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 23 transfer RNAs and 1 control region. The overall nucleotide composition is 27.92% for A, 24.66% for T, 30.90% for C and 16.52% for G. Among 2...

Description
Summary:The complete mitochondrial genome of Electrona carlsbergi was obtained, which was 18,282 bp in size and including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 23 transfer RNAs and 1 control region. The overall nucleotide composition is 27.92% for A, 24.66% for T, 30.90% for C and 16.52% for G. Among 23 tRNA genes, 8 tRNAs were encoded on the L-strand. Further, the phylogenetic tree, which based on complete mtDNA sequences, revealed that the E. carlsbergi was genetically closest to species E. antarctica and Krefftichthys anderssoni. This study could provide a basic data for the studies on evolution for low temperature adaptability, stock evaluation and conservation genetics.
