Complete mitochondrial DNA genome of Hippocampus mohnikei (Gasterosteiformes: Syngnathidae)

摘要

In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of Hippocampus mohnikei (Gasterosteiformes, Syngnathidae). This mitochondrial genome, consisting of 16 518 base pairs (bp), contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a non-coding control region as those found in other vertebrates. The control region, of 878 bp in length, is located between tRNAPr° and tRNAphe. The overall base composition of the heavy strand shows 29.90% of T, 22.98% of C, 32.12% of A, and 15.00% of G, with a slight A + T rich feature (62.02%).
