Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the milk sole fish Aseraggodes kobensis was determined in this study. It is 16,944 bp in length, contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and one putative control region with the typical gene order and transcriptional orientation in vertebrates. The nucleotide base content of A. kobensis mitochondrial genome is: 31.7% A, 27.3% C, 15.3% G and 25.8% T. There are 24 bp overlaps and 48 bp short intergenic spaces located in 6 and 12 gene junctions, respectively. Two start codons (ATG and GTG) and two stop codons (TAG and TAA/T) were found in protein-coding genes. The origin of L-strand replication sequence was found between the tRNAAsn and tRNACys genes, and could be folded into a hairpin structure. The control region is 1239 bp in length with the rich A+T (66.4%) and poor G (13.1%) content.
