The complete mitochondrial genome of Japanese Ammodytes personatus (Perciformes, Ammodytidae)

Abstract

The mitochondrial genome of Japanese Ammodytes personatus is a circular molecule of 16,527 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 2 non-coding regions (control region and L-strand replication origin O_L). The mitogenome exhibits the canonical gene arrangement as those of most vertebrates, the nucleotide composition of which reveals an obvious anti-G bias. In the control region, we identified the termination-associated sequence domain, the central conserved sequence block domains (F, E, D, C, B and A), and CSB domains (1, 2 and 3).
