The complete mitochondrial genome of a marbled eelpout Lycodes raridens (Perciformes: Zoarcidae)

Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the marbled eelpout, Lycodes raridens Taranetz & Andriashev, 1937 was sequenced using the primer walking method. The mitogenome was 16,569 bp in length and encoded with 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and one Non-Coding Region. The overall nucleotide composition of L. raridens is 25.5%, 25.3%, 18.7%, and 30.5% for A, T, G, and C, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis using the ML method showed that L. raridens was clustered into one branch with L. ygreknotatus and L. toyamensis.

“…All of the PCGs used the canonical ATG initiation codon with the exception of COI gene, which started with an alternative start codon GTG. Seven PCGs (ND2, COI, ATP8, ATP6, COIII, ND4L, ND5) terminated with the stop codon TAA, two (ND1, ND3) with TAG, one (ND6) with AGG, the genes ended with a single T were COII, ND4 and Cytb, the presence of an incomplete stop codon is a common phenomenon in vertebrate mitochondrial genes (Zhu et al 2018;Lee et al 2019).…”

“…The incomplete stop codons of TA- and T- are ordinarily present in fish mitochondrial genes (Lee et al. 2019 ). Twenty-two tRNAs distributed between rRNAs and PCGs were detected based on their respective anticodon sequences.…”
