Complete mitochondrial genome sequences of five rockfishes (Perciformes: Sebastes)

AbstractRockfishes of the genus Sebastes rank among the longest-lived vertebrate animals. In order to facilitate comparative genomic research in animal longevity, the complete mitochondrial genome sequences are presented for Sebastes aleutianus, Sebastes minor, Sebastes nigrocinctus, Sebastes rubrivinctus, and Sebastes steindachneri.
