Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of the Japanese wobbegong Orectolobus japonicus was presented in this study. It is 16,706 bp in length with the typical gene composition and arrangement in the mitochondrial genome of vertebrates. The overall base composition is 32.6% A, 24.0% C, 13.3% G and 30.1% T. Two start codons (ATG and GTG) and two stop codons (TAG and TAA) were found in protein-coding genes. The tRNA-Ser2 lacks the dihydrouridine arm and cannot be folded into a typical cloverleaf structure. One termination associated sequence (TAS) and three conserved sequence blocks (CSB1-3) were found in the control region.
