We characterized the complete mitogenome of Nemipterus randalli and performed comparative mitogenomic analysis with previously determined mitochondrial geno­mes belonging to the family Nemipteridae. Using Sanger sequencing, we identified a 16,642 bp mitogenome containing 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 2 rRNA, 22 tRNA) and a non-coding region. Its gene organization, nucleotide composition, tRNA secondary structure and codon usage are similar to other Nemipteridae mitogenomes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that Nemipteridae is a monophyletic group. The present study forms the basis for further studies on the population genetics, evolution and phylogeny of N. randalli and its family.

Abstract


We characterized the complete mitogenome of Nemipterus randalli and performed comparative mitogenomic analysis with previously determined mitochondrial geno­mes belonging to the family Nemipteridae. Using Sanger sequencing, we identified a 16,642 bp mitogenome containing 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 2 rRNA, 22 tRNA) and a non-coding region. Its gene organization, nucleotide composition, tRNA secondary structure and codon usage are similar to other Nemipteridae mitogenomes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that Nemipteridae is a monophyletic group. The present study forms the basis for further studies on the population genetics, evolution and phylogeny of N. randalli and its family.
