The complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid grouper Epinephelus coioides x Epinephelus lanceolatus ;

摘要

The complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid grouper {Epinephelus coioidesQ x Epinephelus lanceolatusj) was presented in this study. The mitochondrial genome is 16,743 bp long and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes,and a control region. The gene order and the composition of the hybrid grouper mitochondrial genome were similar to that of most other vertebrates. The nucleotide compositions of the light strand are 26.56% of A, 15.79% of C, 28.74% of T, and 28.91% of G. With the exception of the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6 (ND6) and eight tRNA genes, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand.
