Illumina next-generation sequencing reveals the complete mitochondrial genome of Psenopsis anomala (Perciformes: Centrolophidae) with phylogenetic consideration.

Using Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS), the complete mitochondrial genome of thePsenopsis anomalawas sequenced in the present study. The mitochondrial genome ofP. anomalais 16,528 bp long and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a control region. The structure about gene order and composition ofP. anomalamitochondrial genome is similar to those of most other vertebrates. The nucleotide compositions of the light strand in descending order is 29.18% of T, 27.97% of G, 27.06% of A, and 15.79% of C. With the exception of the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6 (ND6) and eight tRNA genes, other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand. The phylogenetic analysis by maximum-likelihood (ML) method shown that thePsenopsis anomalawas closer toPeprilus triacanthusin the phylogenetic relationship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
