Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of Gnathopogon taeniellus was first determined in this study. It is 16,596 bp in length, contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and one control region in the typical vertebrate gene order and transcriptional direction. There are total of 29 bp short overlaps and 34 bp non-coding intergenic spacers were found in the mitogenome. Overall nucleotide base composition of light strand is 29.3% A, 25.8% C, 17.9% G and 27.0% T. Two start codons (ATG and GTG) and two stop codons (TAG and TAA/T) were used in the protein-coding genes. The origin of light strand replication (OL) was identified between tRNAAsn and tRNACys genes and could fold a hairpin structure. The nucleotide composition of control region is 31.8% A, 20.9% C, 14.0% G and 33.3% T.
