Complete mitochondrial genome of Korean catfish, Liobagrus somjinensis (Actinopterygii, Siluriformes, Amblycipitidae), from South Korea

Abstract

The Korean catfish, Liobagrus somjinensis, was recorded in 2010 as a new species of genus Liobagrus. The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of L. somjinensis was sequenced by next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis. The assembled mitogenome was 16,526 bp in length and encoded 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs. The gene arrangement, content, and total size were clearly identical with the congeneric species, L. mediadiposalis. Phylogenetic analysis based on nucleotide dataset, consisting PCGs and rRNA genes revealed the taxonomical relationship in species level among the genus Liobagrus.

Characterization of the mitochondrial complete genome of Korean indigenous catfish, Liobagrus hyeongsanensis (Siluriformes: Amblycipitidae)

“…The mitochondrial genome of L. hyeongsanensis (MZ066608) was 16,529 bp in length and composed of 13 PCGs, 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs, and one control region (D-loop). The gene order was completely identical as other Liobagrus species (Kartavtsev et al 2007;Lee et al 2016;Park et al 2017;Kim et al 2020). The nucleotide base composition was examined as 30.1% A, 25.3% T, 28.5% C, and 16.0% G. As with congeneric species, COI has initiation codon with 'GTG', and 12 of remainder PCGs started with 'ATG.'…”

“…Korean indigenous catfish; mitochondrial genome; Liobagrus hyeongsanensis; molecular phylogenetic analysis Genus Liobagrus inhabiting in South Korea is composed for five species, L. andersoni, L. obesus, L. mediadiposalis, L. somjinensis, and L. hyeongsanensis (Park and Kim 2010;Kim et al 2015). Among these species, the complete mitochondrial genomes were analyzed except L. hyeongsanensis Kim et al 2015(Kartavtsev et al 2007Lee et al 2016;Park et al 2017;Kim et al 2020). We analyzed the complete mitochondrial sequence of L. hyeongsanensis in this study and determined the molecular phylogenetic relationship between all of Liobagrus species from South Korea.…”

The complete mitochondrial genome of Diagramma pictum (Perciformes: Haemulidae)

“…The AT content (52.2%) was higher than the GC content (47.8%). The genome structure, organization and base compositions were identical to those of other vertebrates (Zhang et al 2019;Kim et al 2020;Tabassum et al 2020). 13 protein-coding genes found in D. pictum mitogenome use ATG as a start codon except for COI, which started with GTG.…”

The complete mitochondrial genome of Korean indigenous stag beetle, Dorcus koreanus

“…The voucher specimens (NSMK-IN00001) and mitochondrial DNA (mt-DNA) sample (NSMK-DN00004) were stored in −80 °C of National Science Museum (Daejeon, Korea). Experiment steps for mitochondrial DNA analysis conformed to the method described by Kim et al ( 2020 ).…”
