The complete mitochondrial genome of the Megalobrama skolkovii (Cyprinidae: Cultrinae)

The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence of Megalobrama skolkovii was first presented in this study. The mitochondrial genome is 16,620 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA gens (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA) and a control region (D-loop), with the gene identical to that of typical vertebrates. The overall base composition of the light strand are 31.23% A, 24.73% T, 16.16% G and 27.88% C. Two copies of tandem repeat sequence was found in the control region.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Culter recurviceps (Teleostei, Cyprinidae)

We present the complete mitochondrial genome of the Culter recurviceps in this study. The mitochondrial genome is 16,622 bp long and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control region. The gene order and composition of C. recurviceps mitochondrial genome was similar to that of most other vertebrates. The nucleotide compositions of the light strand are 31.36% of A, 24.77% of T, 27.77% of C and 16.09% of G. With the exception of ND6 and eight tRNA genes, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand. Two copies of tandem repeat sequence (24 bp) was observed in the end of the 123 bp in control region.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Trachinotus ovatus (Teleostei, Carangidae)

We present the complete mitochondrial genome of the Trachinotus ovatus in this study. The mitochondrial genome is 16,563 bp long and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control region. The gene order and composition of T. ovatus mitochondrial genome was similar to that of most other vertebrates. The nucleotide compositions of the light strand are 29.03% of A, 28.86% of C, 26.23% of T and 15.88% of G. With the exception of ND6 and eight tRNA genes, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand. Two copies of tandem repeat sequence (56 bp) was observed in the 5′ end of the control region.
