Complete mitochondrial genome of darkfin hind Cephalopholis urodeta (Perciformes, Epinephelidae)
2016
AbstractDarkfin hind, Cephalopholis urodeta, belongs to the subfamily Epinephelinae. It is one of the most important fish species in coral-reef ecosystem. In this study, the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of C. urodeta has been determined. It was 16,592 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 2 non-coding regions. The mitogenome sequence of C. urodeta shared 94% and 92% similarity to that of C. sonnerati and C.sexmaculata, respectively. Phylogenetic tree was made based on the concatenated sequences of 12 protein-coding genes on mtH-strand. All the results provide insights into the evolution in the subfamily Epinephelinae.
