Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the fork-tailed threadfin bream, Nemipterus furcosus, which belongs to the family Nemipteridae was first determined. The complete mitochondrial genome was 16,882 bp in size and encoded of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region. Nemipterus furcosus has a mitochondrial gene arrangement that is typical of vertebrates. Phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial genomes of 11 related species revealed that N. furcosus formed a well-supported monophyletic group with the other Nemipteridae species. This mitochondrial genome provides a useful information for addressing taxonomic issues.

摘要

首先确定了叉尾fin鲷（Nemipterus furcosus）的线粒体完整基因组，该基因属于线虫科。完整的线粒体基因组大小为16882 bp，由13个蛋白质编码基因，22个tRNA基因，2个rRNA基因和一个控制区编码。短尾线虫具有脊椎动物典型的线粒体基因排列。使用11个相关物种的线粒体基因组进行的系统发育分析表明，糠cos猪笼草与其他Nemipteridae物种形成了一个支撑良好的单系统群体。该线粒体基因组为解决分类问题提供了有用的信息。
