Complete mitogenome of three flyingfishes Cheilopogon unicolor, Cheilopogon arcticeps and Cheilopogon atrisignis (Teleostei: Exocoetidae)

摘要

The complete mitogenomes of Cheilopogon unicolor , C. arcticeps and C. atrisignis were determined by the next-generation sequencing (NGS) method. The assembled mitogenome of C. unicolor , C. arcticeps and C. atrisignis consist of 16 529?bp, 16 530?bp and 16 530?bp, respectively. Three mitogenomes contain the typical gene complement including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNA genes and a non-coding D-loop. The length of D-loop is 870?bp (C. unicolor and C. arcticeps ) and 869?bp (C. atrisignis ), located between tRNA-Pro and tRNA-Phe. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that Cheilopogon is not monophyly. The mitogenomes of C. unicolor , C. atrisignis and C. arcticeps may provide useful information for phylogentic and population genetic analysis for flyingfishes.
