The complete mitochondrial genome ofLiobagrus kingi(Teleostei, Siluriformes: Amblycipitidae)

Abstract

Liobagrus kingi is endemic to southwest China and listed as endangered species (IUCN 2012). Genetic diversity is necessary for conservation issue. In studying this, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of L. kingi has been obtained with PCR, which contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a non-coding control region with the total length of 16,483 bp. The gene arrangement and composition are similar to that of other vertebrates. Most of the genes are encoded on heavy strand, except for eight tRNA and ND6 genes. Just like most other vertebrates, the against bias of G has a universality in different statistical results. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of L. kingi would contribute to better understand population genetics and protect its genetic diversity.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Liobagrus mediadiposalis (Teleostei, Siluriformes, Amblycipitidae)

“…We compared the results from the present study to previous mitogenome research on the genus Liobagrus (Kartavtsev et al 2007;Jia et al 2013aJia et al , 2013bJia et al , 2013cHuang et al 2017). Phylogenetic analysis based on the mitogenome sequences using the maximum likelihood approach showed that the L. mediadiposalis was closely related to Liobagrus reinii (Figure 1).…”

The mitogenome ofLiobagrus marginatoides(Teleostei, Siluriformes:Amblycipitidae)

“…The DNA sequence was annotated in comparison with the mitogenome of L. kingi (Jia et al 2013a) and L. nigricauda (Jia et al 2013b). Twentyone primer pairs were used to amplify contiguous, overlapping segments and to obtain the complete mitochondrial genomes of L. marginatoides with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method.…”
