Description
Summary:Nagel R, Forcada J, Hoffman J. Complete mitochondrial genome of the Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella). Mitochondrial DNA Part B . 2019;4(2):2936-2937. The Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella) is an abundant Antarctic otariid. Here, we present the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of this species, which includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and the control region for a total length of 16,156 bp. A phylogenetic analysis including all 25 publically available pinniped mitogenomes nested the Antarctic fur seal within the Otariid clade, which was clearly resolved from the Phocidae and Odobenidae.
